On:  Are nerves the reason Serena is “stuck” on 21 Majors, one short of Graf?

·         “I think it has gotten to her a little bit nerve-wise, no doubt about it. Especially against Kerber and against Muguruza, she wasn't able to dig herself out of the hole like she has in past years, which was surprising to see that, because that's what she is infamous for. When she's down, she can get that next gear, that next level, play some great tennis. We didn't see that in both those matches when she was in trouble. That tells me something is holding her back, and it could be nerves….(that said) In the last few years, she's been good enough at 60%, 70% to win matches. Now I don't think it's going to win matches for her.  The competition has gotten better. They're less intimidated by her. They have strategy when they go out against her. They're just not intimidated. They know she's human.” – Evert

On:  A quick look at the top men.

·         “Everyone is chasing Djokovic, there's no question about it. Everybody else is trying to bridge the gap between Andy and see what else is out there. Rafa not playing, Roger has been struggling to stay healthy for the first time really. Losing to Thiem, Zverev, these guys can see light at the end of the tunnel maybe.  It's going to be interesting this year, but clearly at the moment these guys have put themselves out here, Andy and Novak, and these other guys have to figure out ways to add to what they've got and to bridge this gap.” – McEnroe

On:  The Lendl-Murray Reunion.

·         “I think Lendl did more for him than anybody. I think it's a great combination because Lendl's strengths are Murray's weaknesses. Lendl, mentally and emotionally, he managed himself so well on the court. With Andy, that's been sort of his downfall a little bit in the past, he's gotten so emotional in these matches.  It was noticeably different when Lendl was coaching him. He was a bit quieter. He seemed to have himself under control a lot more.  I think it's a great fit. I'm happy for both of them, that they're working together. Again, that's the best scenario for Andy Murray right now, to have him in his corner.” – Evert

On: Working with Raonic between the French Open and Wimbledon

·         “He's a great young kid, extremely professional and dedicated.  (My role is to) Try to hopefully help him a bit. I think he's one of the contenders….. (he) has a big game, obviously got a lot of shots. One of the best serves in the history of tennis. He has a huge forehand.  I think he understands that he needs to be able to use that to his advantage, be more aggressive, take it to people.” –McEnroe
