"I obviously miss Andy. What an unbelievable career the guy's had. He's an icon of the game. He's a legend and if I have half the career that he's had then I'll be a happy man."

– Jack Draper on former world No 1 and 2012 US Open champion Andy Murray who retired from tennis after the Paris Olympics

"I miss him in the changing rooms. I miss being next to his stinky shoes and all his stinky clothes."

– Draper on the downside of being a Murray fan

"What's the most annoying thing? It's that people think I have a butler, that I get chauffeured around. I have a private limo, that I fly private everywhere. I'm definitely not like that."

– Jessica Pegula, the daughter of a multi-billionaire businessman, on fans' misconceptions of her life

"He got to the top 20 very quickly when all of us were kind of 300, 400 in the world. I always think he's really well mannered and an amazing guy and good for the sport."

– Draper on his friendship with world No 1 Jannik Sinner

"That's crazy. It was a little bit strange. I made a good return. They're like stop, stop, and we both didn't understand what's happening. Then they told us there is a fire alarm in the room. I think the most important thing is everyone is safe."

– Daniil Medvedev on a five-minute stoppage in play around the grounds when a fire alarm in the office hosting the electronic line-calling system caused a technical blackout

"I remember it was the first match in 2022 where I felt the ball is listening to me a little bit more."

– Iga Swiatek on her memories of beating Jessica Pegula on her way to the 2022 US Open title. The two meet again in the quarterfinals on Wednesday
