“I suspect that this will be the first of very many night sessions in Barcelona because I suspect they're making a lot of money from it. And, you know, once you're making money from something, that genie doesn't go back in the bottle. It tends to sort of mate with other genies.”

“I know that there's gaps between matches, but we've heard players talk about the fact that those two week masters are grueling because you're on, you're in tournament mode for such a long period of time.

“For first title, I had Ethan Quinn. He won that challenger that's like an ATP event. I know it doesn't count as a title, but my God, is it close? There's not a tougher challenger all year. He beat Shevshenko first round, like sixth and the third, who beat Ben Shelton in Miami.”

“I had a pierced ear. I think 13. There has to be photos. I was playing a lot of basketball. The refs wouldn't allow me to play the basketball game with my... I had a hoop. I think what I did was I faked a note from my parents that it was okay or something like that, and they fell for it.”

“For me, I said there's going to be a slam winner who isn't Sinner or Alcaraz. I have three slams left. We'll see. I said there will be a new American slam champion on the WTA side. I still like that to happen. I do.”
