Quotes

"Last year probably answer is different, because if I won I will equal [Bjorn Borg," Nadal told reporters. "Any year we can find a different excuse to be different. But at the end, what is different is another year, another Roland Garros. This tournament is enough important for himself, not because now I have six. I have much more than I ever dreamed. I am coming here with motivation of every year with the illusion to play well. But I don't going to be more motivated because I have six and I can win seven. And I was not more motivated when I arrived here in 2005 than today. I was not more motivated in 2010 when I lose in 2009. The motivation always is the same. Sometimes you lose; sometimes you win. That's the sport and that's the game."

"You feel kind of a little bit more responsibility," she told reporters. "You feel more that you have to be, a role model or something. But, I try to be always honest, with anybody and with myself, especially. No I don't think I should change at all because that's what got me to No. 1. That's what I'm going to try to stick by ... You have to be nice. That's a part of being a human being For me, there are two words: being respectful and being honest. That's my main things that I look into people."

"It's an amazing achievement in itself to win three in a row,' Federer said. "Four in a row is just another amazing step. I think the toughest part is the back end of it. I was twice in the finals, twice a couple sets away. Okay, I mean, I was playing Rafa [in Paris], which doesn't make it a whole lot easier. But it's easier to maybe start with the French in this era and then finishing it on the hard court. But it's amazing for tennis right now that we have Novak in this situation again, where we had Rafa [trying to do it] at the Australian Open [in 2011]. But the hard part is every point you play, every game you play, the pressure you face, and just answering the questions time and time again. It's fun because you're talking about the highest of accomplishments. But at the end of the day, you just like to play the matches and not talk about it that much."

"Not at this moment," Novak told reporters. "Well, we are thinking what is our next step, actually right now. My home tournament is the first ever professional tennis tournament, ATP tournament, organized in Serbia, so we are very proud of it. And, of course the city and the country, we have organized it for last four years and we always try to make it better every single year. Most of the comments that we hear are positive, so that's good to hear. But it's taking a lot of effort and a lot of energy from my family and myself to play there. We'll see what we gonna do."
