U.S. Open--what they said

After I warm up, I take a shower, I put my clothes on, I can even fall asleep. I can just wake up in one second, and I do some footwork drills and I’m ready to go.

Vera Zvonareva

I just remember I lost, and that was that. I got really popular; a lot of people were telling me I was, like, super cool, that they never saw me so intense.

She's the type of player who needs to remind herself about the feet.

Tracy Austin, observing Maria Sharapova

I absolutely loved the atmosphere today. I thought everyone was going to be supporting Maria.

Heather Watson

You know, I've always wanted to win the U.S. Open Series, so I can check that off the list.  I just have a couple more checks and then it will be good.

Serena Williams

I was four, and I walked through my parents' bedroom.  I think they were watching Wimbledon or something, and I decided I wanted Venus's dress.  They told me if I played tennis they'd buy me a tennis dress.  I said, All right, I'll try it. I have been playing ever since.
