What have they said?

Osaka said: “My family won’t hate me because I lose a tennis match and stuff like that.

“I never really look at stats or achievements. I’m the type of person that’s always trying to go on to the next thing, which may be bad or good.

“I feel like maybe later in my life I’ll appreciate the things that I’ve done more.

“But as of right now, I feel like I’m chasing records that can’t be broken no matter how hard I try. It’s the human trait of not being satisfied.”

Brady said: “I don’t know how I’m going to feel on Saturday.

“I can say I can enjoy the moment and just try to play tennis and not really think too much about it.

“But there are going to be moments, games and points where I’m going to be thinking about: ‘Wow, this could be my first Grand Slam title.’

“I will definitely have those thoughts. But it’s more just trying to control the emotions.”
