London (AFP) - Key quotes from the fifth day of Wimbledon at the All England Club on Friday:

“I propose a match-up between Roger and me for 106, let’s stop it here and call Roger to come.”

– Novak Djokovic after equalling Roger Federer’s men’s singles record of 105 Wimbledon match wins.

“I’m sure he’s gonna play very quick and he’s gonna try to destroy me, I think. I just want to do whatever I can to, let’s say, like distract him ‘cause just by hitting tennis balls, I don’t think I can beat him at all.”

– Japanese qualifier Shintaro Mochizuki is not overly confident about his chances of beating defending champion Jannik Sinner in the fourth round.

“You’re right, I would actually prefer to talk about my clothes. It’s kind of weird. In some ways I feel like I’m a lot more equipped to talk about my clothes than to talk about my tennis. It’s strange, because I’ve been playing tennis for 20-something years. Some days I don’t feel like an expert on it.”

– Japan’s Naomi Osaka on there being more attention on her fashion sense rather than her tennis, after she reached the Wimbledon second week for the first time.

“I don’t know, like, if it’s overrated or underestimated, whatever. I would say I’m not a fan of strawberries with any sort of cream. I just like plain strawberries.”

– Women’s world number one Aryna Sabalenka on one of Wimbledon’s famed specialities.

“My brother, I go to his games when I’m in town. I go to all the ones that I’m able to go to. It is a bit of a slower, more boring sport. If he wasn’t playing, I don’t think I would be watching as much.”

– Coco Gauff on baseball, with her younger brother Codey in the 2026 MLB draft.

“I hope a win. It’s tough. It might cause a bit of tension in the family. My wife’s dad is Moroccan. Might split the family for the night, but hopefully Canada gets the win. Doesn’t matter the score, as long as we win.”

– Men’s third seed Felix Auger-Aliassime on Canada’s World Cup last-16 tie against Morocco on Saturday.

“Playing soccer, I played since I was 6, 7, up until 13, very frequently. I think it helps a lot with footwork. It’s very closely related to the movement that we do in tennis. So I think every young athlete should play soccer, football, yeah.”

– American teenager Iva Jovic on how playing football as a child has helped her tennis career.
