You just like winning, being on the front page, lifting trophies, doing comfortable press conferences. It\u2019s nice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ryan Harrison, <a href=\"http:\/\/mysport24.co.za\/nadal-sprints-into-third-round-of-us-open\/\" target=\"_blank\">who lost easily to Rafael Nadal in the first round<\/a>, was asked whether his tough season and inability to break through at Grand Slam level has made him lose faith. \u201cWell, I\u2019m 21 years old. If I lost faith in my career at this point, that would be pretty embarrassing. So, no.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What was Francesca Schiavone\u2019s reaction to <a href=\"http:\/\/mysport24.co.za\/nadal-and-williams-advance-with-ease-at-us-open\/\" target=\"_blank\">drawing Serena Williams in the first round<\/a>? \u201cOh, s***.\u201d Schiavone lost 6-0, 6-1 and needed a hug.<\/p>\n<p>Are Serena and Venus Williams up to coach their baby brother, Dylan, into a tennis star? \u201cI think my dad is tired of tennis, so if someone teaches him it will probably be up to Serena and I and the rest of our sisters to get him on the court,\u201d said Venus.<\/p>\n<p>Laura Robson isn\u2019t a fan of fellow Brit Dan Evans\u2019 tattoo choices. \u201cHe\u2019s got a Jesus tattoo. I mean, if you\u2019ve ever spoken to him, he\u2019s really not the most religious person,\u201d she said, laughing. \u201cThat doesn\u2019t make a lot of sense to me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Caroline Wozniacki: \u201cHe\u2019s a little fluff ball and I love him. He\u2019s the best. He\u2019s always happy. No matter if you\u2019ve had a bad day or great day, he doesn\u2019t care. He runs up to you and wants to lick your face.\u201d To clarify, she was talking about her dog, Bruno.<\/p>\n<p>Madison Keys was asked about meeting First Lady Michelle Obama at Arthur Ashe Kids\u2019 Day. \u201cI was so nervous! Do I have to bow? Do I have to, like, curtsy or something?\u201d In the end, she just couldn\u2019t help being a teenager. \u201cI gave her a high five and then a hug. So there you go.
