Now it's wonderful for them to be able to look at (playing on following a maternity break) as a possibility. – Lindsay Davenport	Found on Reuters 6 years ago
Once you have a child, your mind is never clear. It's always worried. I remember playing one match in Bali and I could see the nanny holding him (in a building overlooking the court) and I was like, 'The sun's like right there on top of him,' and I couldn't get that out of my mind, then I told the nanny that she couldn't come because if I saw or heard him, my mind went into overdrive. It's a learning experience because you figure out what works and what doesn't work. – Lindsay Davenport	Found on Reuters 6 years ago

Whoa. Many things changed and also I have changed. I see things differently, in the past, I felt the pleasure, but I couldn't show it, so now I relax. I'm more positive.

It wasn't easy for me to play a guy like Julien in Paris, i'm so proud of him, he made a fantastic career. I should stop speaking, it's Julien's time. – Del Potro	Found on Reuters 6 years ago
I don't expect extremely long rallies against an opponent like that, but sometimes it's not what it takes to win a match, and I think you have to kind of take care of your service games, and I have to serve better than I have been and take care of the return. – Maria Sharapova	Found on Reuters 6 years ago

They will be memorable races. – Naoko Takahashi	Found on Reuters 6 years ago
Every time we have faced adversity whether it is down in games or lose guys, everyone just steps up, we have to do the same things (going home) we did tonight, try to dictate the play, make them turn over pucks. – Lars Eller	Found on Reuters 6 years ago
