Q. You were on top of the world in Paris, and then you sort of came down. Are you back to normal now?
FRANCESCA SCHIAVONE: You know, I think when you try to reach, to arrive in the top of the mountain, then you can't go more, more up. So you have to go down and come back up. I think I'm doing this one. And when it's time to come back again up, I will do it. I'm working to do it.
Q. Do you think people were attracted to you, to your game, because you took such risks, in the final, especially?
FRANCESCA SCHIAVONE: I think they attract -- I attract them because I'm beautiful. (Laughter.) No, you have to ask to them why they come to watch me, but I'm really happy. And today when I see the stadium not full but with many people, I was really, really happy.
During his stay in New York, Janko Tipsarevic's morning routine is to go to Starbucks and order a tall, white, no-whip mocha. When asked his name by the barista, he'll say it's "John," or "Jake," or "Steve."
"I really don't feel like spelling my name," said the 26-year old Serbian, who is ranked No. 42 on the ATP tour and slated to play Belgium's Olivier Rochus Monday. "The only problem is when I go back the next morning, I forgot what name I used and it's the same guy behind the counter."Izvor: Wall Street Journal
After winning last week in Montreal and making another run here, Wozniacki said she’s not feeling the pressure of being the top seed when the Open gets under way next week.
“Pressure is when you’re put in a spot and you don’t really feel like you belong there,” she said. “When you really believe that you belong there, that you can do the things you have to do, there’s no pressure. You just go out there and play.”
"Ovo je prvi put da se slikam za muški magazin. Zvali su me za neke druge časopise, ali se meni jedino ‘Plejboj’ svideo.
"Ekipa je veoma profesionalna, svi su bili fenomenalni prema meni, a i odlično smo se proveli na „Plejboj“ žurkama u Srbiji i Crnoj Gori. Slikao me je Nenad Marjanović. To je velika čast. Fotografije su profesionalne i veoma sam zadovoljna kako je sve ispalo. Slikala sam se gola, ali mi se neki delovi nisu videli.
"Dečko je fenomenalno reagovao. Mama me je ohrabrila zajedno sa mojom sestrom Bojanom. Ma svi su me podržali, i moji drugovi, ama baš svi oko mene. Moja mama je rekla da su super. Rekla mi je da sam mlada i lepa i da to treba i da pokažem.
"Kao i u svakom poslu, i u ovom ima negativnih i pozitivnih komentara. Ne marim za negativne komentare. Živimo u maloj sredini, Srbija nije Amerika. U svetu su se sve poznate, lepe žene slikale za ''Plejboj“. Ja znam ko sam i šta sam i ne zanima me ništa dalje od toga.
"Pre tri godine sam imala povredu kolena zbog koje nisam mogla da igram. Tada sam izgubila sve sponzore. Nadam se da će mi ove slike pomoći da nađem sponzore, ističe Karolina koja je počela da igra tenis kada je imala samo četiri godine."

Q. Actually, before opening ceremony, Nadal said very nice words about you, that you're very talented and good partner for double. You now lost, but what would be your relation, say, if you met each other in the final?
NOVAK DJOKOVIC: We just talked about eventually well, if we, you know, if we get to the finals, I guess the winner will pay a private jet to Cincinnati. I don't know. (Smiling.) That's one of the things.
But, no, definitely it was a great experience playing with Rafa who is, for me, one of the best players that ever played this game, and he still has many years to come, so he's just he's just a legend already in our sport, and he's a good friend of mine. So to be able to stand on the court with him as, you know, No. 1 and No. 2 of the world, was history as well for our sport and attracted a lot of attention from media, from the fans.
It's good for the sport. You know, I think these things should happen more often in men's tennis. So, yes, we did lose, but it was our first match, so we were still kind of playing I was playing on my side. I was playing we felt like a team at some points, but we were still not feeling comfortable as a team, you know. We were enjoying more on the court, I guess. We had lots of fun, and we will definitely try to do it again.
[We] have good relationship. We always have fun in Fed Cup.
“I would have loved to have played in Montreal, but I was quite hurt by the comments of Mr Lapierre that I was shown in The Montreal Gazette recently.
“I don’t think his comments were necessary, and they contradicted everything he had told my management previously: that I was not getting a wild card because I am not Canadian.
“The fact that my original request was turned down isn’t really an issue: I would have been happy to play qualifying, but I felt that they kind of stepped over the line with this interview, making public our correspondence and even misrepresenting it. Unfortunately I don’t feel welcome at this tournament.
“Anyway, I am playing New Haven in a week or so, and I am currently at my third straight event (Cincinnati). Even though I haven’t played many matches, the training and travel take their toll, and I think this is the right decision to make, for several reasons.
“I’m sorry to anyone who was hoping to see me play in Canada this year. I’d like to thank the fans in Montreal who supported me during the two times I played there. I really enjoyed it.”
"The first set I felt like I was still sleeping.
"Playing late last night and then early today I didn't even get 12 hours. This is a really bad experience for a top seed. I was not 100 per cent ready. That's very sad for me. I wanted to play good but there was no chance."
"Maybe I won't come next year," he said. "If you like the tournament and the place then you always want to come back. If you have an experience like this, well, we'll have to see."
"I don't see any other sport that would have it like that," he said. "It's the quarter-finals, quite a big tournament. Every one wants to see good tennis, not two players sleeping on the court."
"It was tough," said Malisse. "But we finished almost at the same time. So we both faced the same thing. You have to get through it."
