[annie]

I think from a few days ago my favourite quote will have to be "Don't tell small lies, then it will be hard to tell big ones" ;D

This is from
Quoting the Tennis World

There are a couple other players quotes too

Summer 2001
That same summer, Goran Ivanisevic finally earned his place in history, defeating Patrick Rafter in a memorable final at Wimbledon. During the tournament, Goran showed many facets of his personality on the court and was questioned repeatedly on his emotional roller coaster ride. That is when Goran started indulging us about his split personalities: "One was rushing, the other was rushing even more. So the third one had to come. I had to call him, he is the emergency 911 call. He came and said to the first two 'Guys, relax, it's a lovely court, calm down', and I calmed down."

LOL Goran was very funny,

and Marat was just his match ;D



Later that week, another colorful personality by the name of Marat Safin was asked if he had multiple personalities, a la Goran Ivanisevic. The Russian responded, "Yeah, I hope so. Otherwise, I'd feel lonely."


Hahahah ;D



Few years back, a Jewish and a Muslim doubles team composed of Amir Hadad of Israel and Aisam-Ul-Haq Qureshi of Pakistan drew much attention due to the political international turmoil involving the two religious populations. They were asked a ton of questions by media members. Yet the pair wondered what the fuss was about, and said they really did not talk much politics. Frustrated by the pair's indifference to their questions, and as a consequence at their own inability to make a bigger headline out of the situation, reporters pushed further. One journalist asked tersely, "What do you speak about over dinner, sex or what?" he asked. Qureshi replied: "He's got his girlfriend here, so probably."

Hahahah!!


Boirs Becker, during his tax evasion trial in Germany, had to admit that he was keeping an apartment in Munich, but denied cheating his taxes knowingly. He claimed that he stayed at his sister's loft only occasionally. His quote as a line of defense was the following: "It just had a bed, a couch, and did not even have a refrigerator." Of course, that did not wash in the German courts. Next time, try harder, Boris.

Hahahah!!

And yes we all love this one i think, and its great that in this guy's opinion its the award for the best quote
hahaha



But, in my opinion, the award for best quote in the last few years that I have heard has to go to Marat Safin. In 2002, his teammate Mikhail Youzhny came back from two sets down to beat Paul Henri Matthieu and earn the final point for Russia to beat France in the finals of Davis Cup. When asked what he felt when his teammate, Mikhail Youzhny, won the match point to win it all for Russia, his response was immediate and direct: "It felt better than sex!"

Have a great clay court season, everyone!

[dandy]

Marat Safin, responding to a question as to what is going on when he is frequently seen talking between points in tennis matches: "Well, it's a one-man conversation. Nobody's answering. Which is good."

[annie]

LOL yeah dandy!!!! he said it at Roland Garros after his match with Ferrero....I love it!!! thanks

[Tish]

I found this or heard it during an interview with Marat after Marat won the Australian Open...on Channel 7

Who else would be talking about insects after winning a Grand Slam event and actually make it sound interesting?
He killed a moth in the Federer match and was asked about his display of anger, which amused the crowd. ``I guess they believe that this bug should live forever, but it’s just kind of a bug that lives only one night,’’ Safin

[glow=red,2,300]"I do the house cleaning, I wash the dishes, and I do the shopping myself. There is no woman in here"

"I have an empty refrigerator and nobody takes care of things around the house. I have nobody to cook for me, so I go to restaurants. Me cooking? No idea! Me washing clothes? No idea! I can't do anything domestic!" [/glow]

Erm, marat, your contradicting yourself, hunny!! Actually, i can imagine Marat saying the first quote quite sarcastically. . . geez i love him!!


this has to be the best one!!!
