Wimbledon day 7: Who said what
Key quotes from the seventh day of Wimbledon at the All England Club on Sunday:
"I just want to go, get completely drunk, forget about tennis, and try to get in better shape."
-- World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka after crashing out to Naomi Osaka.
"I definitely wanted to today, but I actually really wanted to focus on the match. So that was me being very tame. But definitely there's a couple things I can add. Well, ironically I kind of want to focus on my tennis now, so I might dial back a little bit."
-- Osaka might tone down her outfits now she is into a first Wimbledon quarter-final.
"Satisfaction and enjoyment was not part of today's win, to be honest. Of course, I'm relieved and happy to win it, but I haven't enjoyed. Hopefully next match will be better in that sense."
-- Novak Djokovic after a scrappy win over Russian qualifier Roman Safiullin.
"It's Taylor Swift. I don't expect anything less than doing something different. Not totally surprising. But yeah, interesting."
-- Jessica Pegula on Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding being held at Madison Square Garden in New York.
"I was not sure. You're never sure, I think, about anything. I definitely believed I can get back and I can find a good level of my tennis. I always have that belief in myself."
-- Karolina Muchova on returning to top form following an injury, after reaching the quarter-finals at Wimbledon for the first time in five years.
"I want to watch the England/Mexico match, too. Yeah, I'm going to watch the U.S., too."
-- Iva Jovic is going to stay up late to watch England's World Cup last-16 tie against Mexico, after she was knocked out of Wimbledon by Jessica Pegula.
"I always try to look what can give me an edge, what's the best recovery, wellness technology out there, from hyperbaric chambers, to cryo chambers, to cold immersions, to red light therapy to pulse electromagnetic therapies, to... There's a lot of things that I have used and I've been using and still using."
-- The 39-year-old Djokovic on using recovery technology.
