| Thursday, 3 July 2008 Written by Byron Vale "It's not about the words. It's just in the eyes, the respect. You can see it in the eyes. In a few words, it's tough. Maybe we can talk about this in a few weeks. But just after the match, we cannot stay 15 minutes on the court, Yeah, good first set." — Arnaud Clement about his exchange with Rainer Schuettler after losing the quarter-final 6-3, 5-7, 7-6, 6-7, 8-6
"I think Andy has one of the strongest serve on the tour, and he is out in the beginning of the first week here. So probably it's not only about the serve or how well you can serve. I mean, it's a game and something more. It's not an exhibition for your serve. I have something more and stronger in my game than, you know, that I play on the top level for so many years. So I don't think this way. I don't think the serve will take me to the top." — Elena Dementieva on the value of a big serve in tennis
"The Chinese players' lifestyle are not as glamorous as the players from other countries. Apart from training or time spent more in shopping than the others were not that much." — Zheng Jie
"I'm watching what I say, as well, because yesterday I made a comment which I shouldn't have about how I thought one of the umpires wasn't really seeing that well. And then I got a couple texts after the match saying, Yeah, Laura, I don't think you should have said that. So I have to watch what I say a bit more." — Laura Robson
"I growed up watching Boris win Wimbledon, so now I'm in the semis. I am more than happy. And only Boris and Michael made it so far." — Rainer Schuettler becomes just the third German to reach a Grand Slam semi-final
"I just always assumed we would be the best because we worked so hard. It was kind of like natural, like we just expected it." — Serena Williams is asked if she ever thought her and her sister would be world champions
"I definitely wanted to win. I think that my family wanted me to win because I was the older sister. So they thought I should win this title because I was older, and then Serena would have a chance after. Personally that's what I felt. They didn't say anything. There have been other times where I felt like they felt like, Serena hasn't won, so it's her turn to win." — Venus Williams on her first final against Serena
