Australian Open--what they said

Did you expect this kind of tournament for yourself when you came?
Yeah. I never think about the playing four, five years ago I never think about play the Grand Slam, so of course this year I won two times in the singles and then two times in doubles. Yeah, like a miracle.

Do you have any reaction (to Lance Armstrong's interview)?
I can't talk about anything I don't know anything about, so I'm just going to keep my mouth shut.  I'm not an expert on that stuff. That's all I can say.

Venus Williams

Although they did show up on my birthday and I was very disappointed. They did a couple of years ago. I said, "Unless you bring flowers, I'm (not) okay with it."  But they came empty-handed.

Maria Sharapova, commenting on drug-testing

...one thing she's very good at is when she's pulled wide, she's just got so much control of the ball. I think a few times I thought when I hit an angle she'd come back with an angle, but she went for the lower percentage shot down the line, but for her it's higher percentage.
