London (AFP) - Who said what at Wimbledon on Sunday, the seventh day of the 2022 championships at the All England Club:

"I hope I can come back one more time.I've missed it here."

-- Eight-time champion Roger Federer.

"I know there are more important things outside.I know my family is the most important for me and my two kids.For me, it doesn't change anything on my outside.I'm a mom.I love to be a mom.I love my two kids."

-- Tatjana Maria keeping her run to a first quarter-final at the majors in perspective.

"I'm really disappointed because I felt like I was like playing way better than she was.She got lucky, she framed it, put the ball on the line.She didn't really do anything today.She was just waiting on my mistakes."

-- Jelena Ostapenko after her loss to Maria.

"I know when I light it up, I can play really well and beat anyone on my day."

-- Heather Watson after losing 6-2, 6-4 to Germany's Jules Niemeier

"I want to see more players here.I want them to believe more in themselves and believe they can be here.I don't come from a rich family so you have to stop finding excuses and just go for it, enjoy it."

-- Tunisia's Ons Jabeur wanting to see more Arab and African players on tour

"Tennis is a very beautiful sport.It shouldn't be that way."

-- Jabeur reacting to the controversial match between Nick Kyrgios and Stefanos Tsitsipas.
