QUOTES OF THE DAY:

Kerber: “Against Sloane, I have to be aggressive. I have to go for it, and I have to take the match in my hands.”

Stephens: “You don’t play back-to-back top 10 players like in regular tournaments. It won’t happen again for a whole other year, but it’s kind of cool to just play against the best. Every match is like a final.”
