Serena Williams on her 21 match-winning streak headed into the quarters of Rome:  I don t remember my previous winning streak  I hope I can get to 22 plus 7 and the rest of the matches that I have here and I want to play Wimbledon and so it would be dangerous to lose right now,  she said. . .

After nearly knocking off  Rafael Nadal in Rome, Ernests Gulbis declared himself a player to watch at Roland Garros: “I am confident going into Paris and I think I’m the toughest unseeded player ,  he said. Nadal was less than thrilled with asking the chair umpire to look at so many ball marks in their match in Rome:  I don’t like Gulbis’ attitude, he called for the chair umpire various times. If the ball is out, it’s out. . .

In honor of her boyfriend Grigor Dimitrov  birthday, Maria Sharapova signed the TV camera “Make a Wish!” . . . Dimitrov, Milos Raonic, Ryan Harrison and a host of other young players are featured in a Men s Journal fashion spread called   Hit Squad . . .

Martina Hingis says she works well with Anastasia Pavlyuchenkovabecause her student is a good listener. She also says that they don’t play anything alike.  She plays like the ones I didn’t like to play so much like Serena or Lindsay Davenport. . .

The Age reports that Bernard Tomic is still likely to contest Roland Garros. His father John is facing assault charges in Madrid. . .

Jarmila Gajdosova has been diagnosed with mononucleosis and needs to take a break of at least two months…
