"It's obvious that with the circumstances that I am playing, I can't and I don't want to keep going, so the mindset is very clear. I'm going to keep working to try to find a solution and an improvement for what's happening in the foot."

Rafael Nadal hoping that new treatment will cure his long-standing foot injury.

"There is always something to improve, honestly. I'm still not, like, a complete player. Yeah, there are many things (to work on). I'm not going to tell you because it may sound like I'm concerned about some stuff."

Women's champion Iga Swiatek on how she rates her current game.

"No. Snitches get stitches."

Sloane Stephens refusing to divulge details of the talks which led to the WTA decision not to award world-ranking points at Wimbledon.

"For me, I'm not sure why, but I feel like if I play Wimbledon without points, it's more like an exhibition. I know this isn't true, right? But my brain just like feels that way. Whenever I think like something is like an exhibition, I just can't go at it 100 percent."

Naomi Osaka (pictured) says she is leaning toward skipping Wimbledon following the decision to strip the tournament of ranking points.

"I know it's not good for the planet, but I will try to switch to a hybrid car maybe next time."

Diane Parry, 19, who knocked out 2021 champion Barbora Krejcikova, reveals she has traded in her scooter for a car.

"I think for me, most of the time or 99.9 percent of the time is from an account with no followers or anything. I think for me, I just don't take it seriously. I think it's funny. A lot of times the crazy messages that I get I share with friends and just laugh about them, because some of them are pretty absurd with the insults they can come up with."

US star Coco Gauff (pictured) on social media abuse.

"I'm a little bit scared of spiders, but I need to say I was much more scared when I was 10 or 12.When you grow up, you need to sometimes face your fears. I never saw a tarantula, so I think I'm going to be scared if I see one. I'm not any more scared of small spiders."

World No 2 Daniil Medvedev (pictured) on one of his phobias.

"I loved the Chateau of Versailles because everything is so symmetrical. I love maths so if things are not symmetrical, then I am like 'Wow, this is so wrong'."

Iga Swiatek on her fondness for one of France's most-visited sites.

"It was just a panic attack. I didn't know how to handle it, because I don't have it often."

2018 champion Simona Halep on a worrying moment in her defeat to China's Zheng Qinwen.

"I'd like to apologize to my family for giving them a heart attack."

Leylah Fernandez (pictured) after her topsy-turvy victory over Belinda Bencic.

"I call her Jil-One-L."

Sloane Stephens on her last-16 opponent Jil Teichmann.

"It hurts more than my injury itself. It's really too much when you see everything I've been giving on the court for so many years."

France's Alize Cornet on being booed when she retired injured 6-0,3-0 down against Zheng Qinwen.

"In this era that we are in right now, and as a woman, a former woman's player, I don't feel bad or unfair saying you have more attraction, more attractivity-can you say that? Appeal?-for the men's matches."

Tournament director Amelie Mauresmo on the decision to schedule only one women's match in 10 night sessions.
