Ben Shelton after losing to Zverev in the U.S. Open final “First and most importantly I wanna thank God. My successes are a gift. The failures are a gift. Being here playing in front of you guys is a gift. Sascha, congrats on these two weeks man. Your 2nd Grand Slam title. Two in one year. You’re one of the very best players in the world. Maybe the best player in the world this year. What you’re doing is incredible. The way you’re serving, moving, and playing. You work harder than anyone I know. You put more hours on the court than anyone I know. You and your team do things the right way. Sincerely happy for you guys to hold this title. It’s been a long time coming here.”

Elena Rybakina with a message to the fans after winning the U.S. Open “I just won this beautiful title. I still can’t believe. It was such an amazing atmosphere here in New York. I just want to say thank you” ❤️

Elena Rybakina becomes the 2nd woman in history to beat the world No. 1 in multiple Grand Slam finals in a single season. Steffi Graf - Roland Garros, US Open - 1995. Elena Rybakina - Australian Open, US Open - 2026. Simply the best. 🇰🇿🩵

Alex Eala gave a great quote in press about why it’s so important for her to enjoy tennis and the life she’s living “I want to ask you about something you said in an interview with Sky Sports. You were asked about how you see yourself 10 years from now. Some players would say ‘I hope to have 2, 3, 4 Grand Slams.’ But you said something different. You said ‘I just want to make sure I gave it my best, worked hard, & had fun.’ Alex: “I think it would be such a shame if I didn’t do my best to enjoy. There are so many people who are showing love for me and all the other players. You know, I’m playing on Armstrong, like… You know when you’re dreaming when you’re a little kid, you don’t know if you’re actually gonna do it. Of course you say ‘I can. I can. I can.’ But whether you actually do is a different thing. Now I’m actually here. It would be a big shame if I didn’t enjoy what I had.” 🥹 (via US Open Press)

Naomi Osaka says her Wimbledon outfit was inspired by Lucy Liu in Kill Bill: "When you're coming out for a first round match. That striking amazing outfit you came out in... how much of a difference does that make and tell us about the inspiration for it.." "Yeah, it makes a difference. For me, I find fashion to be really fun. You guys all look for beautiful and I kind of want to come out in something to. To me, my Japanese heritage means a lot. They said all white in Wimbledon and I thought it'd be really cute to come out in a Kimono. I just get inspired by a lot of different things. One of my favorite movies is Kill Bill. I really love Lucy Liu's character, O-ren Ishii. She comes out in this really iconic white Kimono. I always tell people I like to be like a video character sometimes, I don't want to be myself when I'm playing on the court and I tried to embody her a little."

Taylor Fritz after losing to Tiafoe in Halle final “I’ll start by just saying congrats to Frances and his team. Just too good. You played great today man. Super happy for you. As much as I don’t like you right now 😂… you’re one of my best friends. I’m super happy for you to get the title. You’ve been having a great year, so congrats dude.” ❤️
