“They can say what they want. I’m the type of player I am. I’ve won a lot of
tournaments. I’m No. 1 in the world, and of course I can still improve. There are a lot

go out there and I play the way I do, and hopefully that’s good enough.”
— Caroline Wozniacki, responding to critics who say she needs to develop a big

“I don’t think I’m lacking any time on the court or matches. This year has been a
very long year. So I really don’t mind that I spend less time on the court. I think I’ve
played well for these 45, 50 minutes that we had on the court. It’s unfortunate for
my opponent, obviously. He had food poisoning, he told me after the match. But I
felt great on the court and that’s something that’s really important for the start of the
tournament.
— Novak Djokovic, who improved to 58-2 on the year when Conor Niland retired in
the second set

“I think everyone’s light turns on at their own time. I’m starting to feel like mine is
turning on. Not everybody does it when everybody expects it to be done. I wish it
could have been earlier. It’s starting to come now and I’m excited about it.”
— Donald Young, 22, on reaching his potential seven years after reaching No. 1 in
the juniors
