"I'm an outside chance at Roland Garros but my focus is really on Wimbledon where it is realistically between me and Roger Federer to win."
-- Lleyton Hewitt.

"(Maria) Sharapova plays thoughtless tennis, just pounding at the ball."
-- Mats Wilander

absolutely Mats!!! Nothing between the ears, never should have lost to Serena at Melbourne Park.

"I know I can beat him on any surface."
-- Roger Federer after losing to Nadal at the semi's at RG

ouch, not like Roger. Hmm, that loss must have hurt.

"I just want to say, my mom was sick...she has a problem with her health...really serious problem, so I have been dealing with this for the past couple of months. I would like (the media) to not...ask any questions about this any more. It has been a pretty hard time...but I am a professional tennis player so I have to play no matter what. So I am here. I'm trying to do my best..."
-- Defending champ Anastasia Myskina at the French Open

done like barbecue chicken wings on a hot summer's day.

"I think you have to love yourself before you fall in love. I'm still learning to love myself."
-- Serena Williams.

"You come here and all you hear is Nadal, Nadal, Nadal. It is wrong for somebody so young. The country has great players. Moya, Ferrero, Albert Costa have all won the French Open but nobody talks about them. Only Nadal. Why is this?"
-- Marat Safin in Barcelona

-- Serena Williams speaking to the Khaleej Times in Dubai

CRYING!!!!!!!

"I know her the way she is. She has always been like this. And once I lost to her because she starts crying. I was 4-1 up in the third set. I was playing unbelievable. And suddenly Vera started crying. And she was talking to herself. So I stopped. So I lost in a tiebreaker."
-- Svetlana Kuznetsova on fellow countyrwoman Vera Zvonareva

Anybody she Vera cry before? Don't mean to be an ass, but it's hilarious. That's one fragile mind.

"I'm an actress, model and athlete, and I'd put athlete third on the list."
-- Serena Williams flashback quote.

lol
