i just went to the site tennis-x.com and i found some funny and interesting quotes....here they are.

"The French hasn't worked out for me the last couple of years and I'll make sure that doesn't happen again."
-- Roger Federer laying down a warning regarding the upcoming French Open for 2005.

"Just look at Andy Roddick. He has the biggest serve on the men's tour and he's not the No. 1 because other parts of his game are not so good. I think it's more important to have the desire and the other parts of your game."
-- Elena Dementieva, defending her weak serve. Ouch, like A-Rod doesn't have enough problems without getting slammed by WTA players.

"Not at all. I mean, that wasn't even a big match. The serve-and-volley was nothing today. It's just my mistakes and, well, she served pretty well. That's the only one thing she can do."
-- Anastasia Myskina on if she was impressed by conqueror Nicole Vaidisova after losing at Charleston.

"You come here and all you hear is Nadal, Nadal, Nadal. It is wrong for somebody so young. The country has great players. Moya, Ferrero, Albert Costa have all won the French Open but nobody talks about them. Only Nadal. Why is this?"
-- Marat Safin in Barcelona.

"I'm an outside chance at Roland Garros but my focus is really on Wimbledon where it is realistically between me and Roger Federer to win."
-- Lleyton Hewitt. Huh? Were you in the final last year and we missed it? Or the year before?

"It's called Retail Therapy."
-- Maria Sharapova on getting over her Australian Open loss to Serena Williams by going shopping

"You know what, I'm ignorant to the whole West Bank settlement of Israel. I'm American. Can you elaborate on that, please?"
-- Serena Williams when asked about 17-year-old Israeli Shahar Peer, who grew up in the dangerous West Bank settlement. Apparently being American is equivalent to being ignorant of anything outside of America?

"The balls are terribly unpredictable. They skim the net, you make the adjustment and they go 18 feet long. Prince should stick to tennis rackets, that's for sure."
-- Andre Agassi on the Prince balls used at the ATP San Jose event.

"I just thought he was one of the nicest guys, like just really easygoing and easy to get along with."
-- Bec Cartwright on meeting fiancee Lleyton Hewitt. Does Lleyton have a twin we don't know about?
