NOVAK DJOKOVIC ON TAKING TIME AWAY FROM THE TOUR - ‘I’ve played professional tennis over twenty years now and I’m so grateful that tennis has allowed me to build an incredible platform and I try to make the most of the weeks that I’m not playing, spend time with family and rest my body, and I’ve definitely rested my body!' STEFANOS TSITSIPAS ON QUALIFYING FOR TURIN - ‘It’s a whole celebration of the best of the best in our sport. We get together and focus on the fact that we are the best in the world focussing on this mega trophy and it means a lot being able to qualify every year. I would consider it probably a bigger thing than a Grand Slam honestly’.   ALEXANDER ZVEREV ON QUALIFYING FOR TURIN - ‘It’s just the prestige to be there, one of the best eight players in the world. One of the great things with this tournament is that you play one of the eight best players right from the off and that is one of the best things about it’. HOLGER RUNE ON HAVING BORIS BECKER AS A COACH - ‘It’s been great working with Boris Becker and what you can see on the court is what we’ve been working on. We have made a few adjustments to come back on track a little bit and whilst I still haven’t found my best level, we are definitely building’. ROMAN SAFIULLIN ON BEING A PROLIFIC JUNIOR AND HIS SLOW ASCENT ON THE MAIN TOUR - ‘I had many problems with health and big injuries and it was difficult to come back and after injuries I had to start over again and let’s say everyone has a different life and I had a harder life, but hopefully I’ll catch up and be able to get into the top 10’. NATE LAMMONS ON WHY HE AND DOUBLES PARTNER JACKSON WITHROW HAVE RISEN UP THE RANKINGS - ‘Definitely I’m playing shots that I wouldn’t have played before, but mostly it’s about playing with a partner for a long time, knowing what they can do in different moments and we’re also riding a wave or everything being new, as well as the level being up there’.
