Aryna Sabalenka is targeting a maiden Wimbledon title

London (AFP) - Key quotes from the third day of Wimbledon at the All England Club on Wednesday:

“Rocky, maybe that. But I don’t know how I would do my outfit if this is my inspiration. Going on the match with boxing gloves or something. That would be tricky.”

– Aryna Sabalenka when asked which film would hypothetically give her an idea for an outfit like Naomi Osaka’s Kill Bill-inspired kimono.

“I feel very privileged to be walking out on the court at age 30 plus and I don’t think it’s a cliche, I actually believe age is just a number, I think it’s true.”

– The 39-year-old Novak Djokovic after producing a vintage performance to swat aside Stefanos Tsitsipas.

“I do feel a little bit of nerves. Also I kind of want to make myself so used to that feeling that it doesn’t bother me anymore.

“I think the Australian Open was me throwing myself head first into it with the umbrella and the hat and everything. Ever since then I’ve been pretty chill about it. I think we’ve been a little bit tamer.”

– Osaka after sporting another striking outfit for her second-round match.

“I can tell you what I’ll feel: hungover.”

– Dan Evans when asked how he’d feel on Thursday morning after the last match of his professional career, in doubles.

“No, I didn’t know. Was there a football match?”

– Mirra Andreeva when asked if spectators celebrating England’s goals at the World Cup distracted her during her loss to Barbora Krejcikova.

“The saga of the WTA Finals continues. It’s like we can’t catch a break, and I don’t necessarily think it’s our fault. There just tends to be a lot of world conflicts that seem to happen and get in the way.”

– Jessica Pegula on this year’s WTA Finals being moved from Saudi Arabia to Indian Wells.

“He suffers staying alone. It really hurts my feeling. It’s just like little fluffy thing that always want cuddle and love. Going to the park with him, walking around, is also like some sort of meditation for me. Wimbledon, please, I beg you, let the dogs inside.”

– World number one Sabalenka on not being allowed to bring her dog to Wimbledon.

“I like the old style, to be honest. Let’s say it like this – I like the old style with the officials and everything and with three challenges and with all that. Now with the new style, it is what it is. I mean, it’s not much I can do.”

– Barbora Krejcikova on automatic line-calling after asking for replays after a couple of close calls.
