Wimbedon--what they said

I want to get further and beat these top players. I can't hope for a good draw. I've just got to make it happen. I'm positive about my game. I feel like it's a lot stronger than it has been. I'm getting a lot more consistent results.
Heather Watson

I think she has a great future. She played well. She hits the balls very fast, and deep (down) the lines. She's a very tough opponent, so you need to beat her. I actually expected a match like that.
Angelique Kerber, referring to Watson

I think Genie prefers grass more to clay. I prefer clay to grass. I know it's going to be really, really tough and a lot will depend on the serve, how well I move after the serve, because she returns so aggressively.

I’m trying to figure out when this is going to end. I’m really losing focus up here.
