Wimbledon just is the epitome of tennis.

I've done some meditation stuff like apps on my phone, but sometimes it's just about breathing deeply taking some deep breaths and slowing my mind down and focusing and something simple that can really help quiet my mind.

My thought process when I'm on the court is always thinking about getting better, and thinking about how I'm playing. Thinking about it as a process, as the big picture and what I need to work on, instead of being close-minded and thinking, 'I'm so nervous and have to win this match, if I don't, it'll be the worst.'

There is nothing like Wimbledon. When I think about tennis, I think about this tournament.

I think when it's a high-stress situation, my tennis definitely takes a big dip.

I always travel with a cashmere blanket - I take it everywhere with me!

I think no matter who you are, or what you do, just be nice.

It's one of those things where eventually in your career, it kind of switches from being the young up-and-comer to someone who has had results and the other person is trying to raise their level to play. I think it's a privilege.

I want to be a role model for all young people.

One night I couldn't sleep at three in the morning and I thought, I'm going to color-coordinate my closet. And I did. There's a whole system. It goes from white to black and then all the colors in the middle. Then it goes by tank tops to T-shirts to long sleeves, and then it goes to the next color. Then it goes to sweaters the same way.

It's, you know, kind of nice to be under the radar.

If you're not in my immediate circle, you're not someone whose opinion I value.

For me, losing is definitely not easy, but I think you just have to keep everything in perspective. Just remember that there's another tournament around the corner.

I don't always have to play my absolute best to win matches.

I have a specific routine before every match. I like to grip my rackets, because I feel that someone else won't do it how I like them. But the biggest thing is that I don't like to stress about my match all morning. Twenty minutes before, I'll sit down and think about the game plan and warm up. And then I just play.

I always watched these tournaments and want to be seeded and get the bye and be in the second week of Slams and all that.

I like weightlifting and cardio workouts, and I'll do a lot of circuit workouts and plyometric as well.

Setting a goal, accomplishing it, and feeling good about yourself can help build confidence and perseverance.

In basketball, the legs are the most important part of your body. A lot of people think it's the upper body because you shoot with your arms, but your legs are always carrying you, so if you don't lift leg weights, your muscles will be easily fatigued.

I don't think it changes who you are inside. But when you have a lot of money, it makes a lot of things easier. That's why everyone wants to be successful.

Life is about going through things and learning along the way.

I know that, me being from Sudan and London, it's a big honour to have even made it to the NBA.

Nobody ever remembers the worst film they ever saw.

I remember when I was a kid, as a refugee in Egypt, every day, there was always a hope that we'd get to leave tomorrow and we'd get to go somewhere.
