Brad Gilbert on Djokovic:

He's an incredibly young 28.  He's in the prime of his career.  To me, he's set to do some unbelievable damage the next couple of years.  He had one of the most dominant years last year.  I said at the start of the year I thought he would win at least three.  Right now he is as complete of a tennis player as I've ever seen… Joker has it all.  There's nothing boring about his game.  His backhand is scripted from God.  Like an Andre backhand.  His return of serve is incredible.  His movement.  I tend to look at it and think he's got the complete package game-wise, technically, physically, mentally.

Chris Evert on Serena:

She can't have another year like she had last year.  She narrowly escaped so many matches, down a set, down a set and a break.  It can't happen again like that.  That would be like immortal for that to happen.  I think Serena, again, she just has to manage herself, manage her body, manage her schedule, manage her intensity when she's out there.  I just felt like last year she showed signs of not being motivated.  There's so many matches in the first set she played like listless tennis, lethargic, like she was going through the motions with no energy.  She'd get it when she got mad in the second set.  She would finally pull these matches out.  I would like to see her start out from the first point and play some motivational tennis, then I think she won't put herself in those dangerous positions.  Easier said than done because once you've played 20 years, you don't wake up in the morning, jump out of bed and want to go play a tennis match every day.

Gilbert on Serena:

For me, it's simple.  She's been the greatest player, bar none, from 30 and older.  She's been the oldest player No. 1 in the last three years, 32, 33, 34.  Never underestimate a Williams.

Evert on Federer:

Roger's always looking for the edge.  Maybe there's a little shock value in it (changing coaches).  Can you give me something that's just out of the box, edgy that maybe I can think about and bring into a match with Djokovic?  It just shows by changing coaches he's still in the hunt and still really wants it badly.  He definitely could still win a majo

Gilbert on Federer:

The question, honest to God, that I get asked, I get asked a hundred times day on Twitter about what can Roger do to win a slam.  It's incredible, people ask about everything that he does.  I'm like, first of all, at 34, he's still playing amazing tennis.  He's right in the thick of things.  He's just got to be able to find a way to beat a guy that's six years younger than him in a slam final.  That's basically it in a nutshell.

Evert on Azarenka:

I think she's a player we should be talking about and focusing on right now because she's the best player out there as of now with all the injuries.  We've only had one or two weeks, but she is on the uphill. She certainly loves Australia.  She's won it twice.  She definitely last year played really well.  I thought she played really well, but kept bumping into Serena.  She challenged her more than any other player.  I think she's a player that, if she's healthy, she's the one to watch.  She's going to be dangerous.  She's got to be one of the two or three favorites for winning the Australian Open.  I love the way she played last year.  I love how aggressive she was.
