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

“I don’t think because there are some movements you cannot really control. It’s just normal instinct. Skiing can help you in certain moments, but not when you fall, yeah, when you have zero control.”

– Reigning champion Jannik Sinner after falling heavily during his dramatic five-set win over Miomir Kecmanovic in the first round.

“Thankfully I have 20-plus years of experience. It would be nice to combine experience with a new, fresh body.”

– Novak Djokovic after battling past China’s Wu Yibing in straight sets.

“I was just thinking about my favourite movies also. I love Kill Bill. I remembered absolutely falling in love with Lucy Lu’s character. She has an all-white kimono, and I remember thinking that was really cool and amazing. Then it just kind of went from there. It was like my interpretation of that while also paying a lot of respect and love to Japan.”

– Naomi Osaka on her kimono-inspired outfit.

“My non-negotiable here when I knew it was going to be hot was I need an AC unit in the flat, an absolute must. I’m American. I need AC.”

– Fourth seed Jessica Pegula on her accommodation needs.

“It’s great to have good friends, you know, from back home, from Madrid, in the stands that they can enjoy the match. I used to practice with them when I was younger and even when I’m in Madrid I still practice with them.”

– Rafael Jodar on his vocal friends, who cheered him on during his Wimbledon debut win.

“Oh, that’s a lot.”

– Thailand’s Mananchaya Sawangkaew after being told she had guaranteed £126,000 in prize money by reaching the second round of a Grand Slam for the first time.

“I’m surprised they let me keep playing, because it’s meant to be all white but it turned a little red.”

– Jannik Sinner on his bleeding right foot.

“It’s a special place, thank you to Sir David for being here.”

– Aryna Sabalenka was pleased David Beckham was in the royal box to watch her first-round win.

“I had a toasted sandwich and a smoothie. So far, two toasted sandwiches.”

– Britain’s Cameron Norrie on how he was attempting to get over losing in a fifth-set tie-break.

“Quite some years is just staying off social media. You know, as simple as that. Staying off what’s said about yourself, what’s said about others. There is a lot of noise out there.”

– Canadian third seed Felix Auger-Aliassime on staying off social media.

“I said that it’s just very special to hear those words from a legend in sport. Obviously it’s very special to me. I will be watching her match tomorrow because I’m very curious to see how she plays, just to see her play again for a very long time that she wasn’t playing. That would be an exciting match I think.”

– Mirra Andreeva on being named by Serena Williams as a player the returning veteran has enjoyed watching during her four years away from the sport.
