'Piglet' takes a deep breath and serves

Take a look at our favourite quotes from some of the world's top players over Wimbledon fortnight.. some may wish they had kept their mouths shut!

We do have some banter about what the hill should be called - and I'm winning the argument at the moment! Tim Henman reclaims Henman Hill from Andy Murray for at least a year.

The problem with British tennis is that there's always so much negativity. Andy Murray.

Wimbledon is the world's most boring tournament. There is hardly anything to do apart from tennis. Nikolay Davydenko.

For a plate of pasta it's costing around £10. For £10 you can have a great pasta at Cipriani in New York. Marat Safin.

Q. How do you feel when people say you are the prettiest girl ever to play at Wimbledon?A. Thank you. I'm very flattered. Ana Ivanovic.

Q. Can I ask you about your knickers?
A. Excuse me? Tatiana Golovin

There's like a little red outline, and they say red is the color that proves that you're strong and you're confident, so I'm happy with my red knickers. Tatiana Golovin, still discussing that underwear, ten minutes later.

Man, here's the deal with golf. Every time I play golf, I got to buy a new set of clubs. It's not relaxing for me. I go mental. And I don't have the pants. Andy 'Tiger' Roddick.

When I have a Sunday off I love to eat lots of junk. My middle name is Piglet. 'Big Mama' Maria Sharapova

The people are really nice here. I'm not a great fan of England but everyone's really nice here. Justine Henin. Charming, eh?

We're so close. We have complete opposite personalities almost. I guess it works well. Geminis and Libras are like a perfect match. Serena Williams on big sis Venus.

My dad's a character. I mean, he by himself would make a really good reality show. Maria Sharapova.

I thought about, uhm, not finishing, but very briefly. I thought I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I hadn't at least tried. Serena Williams after beating Daniela Hantuchova after a rain and injury break.

You never want something like this to happen. It's so hard to play against somebody that you know is struggling, and you kind of feel sorry. Ditto Daniela Hantuchova.

That one is special because there were so many people who said I wouldn't do it, couldn't do it, wrote me off, said I wouldn't win again. Venus Williams after winning her fourth title.

Tomorrow I won't be that disappointed because I will realize what I achieve, which is already awesome, of course. But right now, because I want it so bad, yes, of course, I'm disappointed. Marion Bartoli after losing the women's final.

He serve better than me, and that's important in every surface, but in this surface more, no? Rafael Nadal after losing to Federer in the final.

It was a huge occasion for me, huge pressure. Bjorn Borg sitting there, Jimmy Connors sitting there, John McEnroe sitting there, Boris Becker sitting there. You know, for me it's a big moment for me. Roger Federer after winning his fifth Final.

Eric [Butorac] doesn't give me any kisses... I'm with Jelena now! Jamie Murray.

I was motivating him every time. When it was break point I was telling him 'hit a good return because you know you are gonna get many more kisses'! Jelena Jankovic after she and Jamie Murray won the Mixed Doubles Final.

I hope she will play with me again. Jamie Murray (aaahh...)
