A Quote by Mats Wilander

To me, there are only a few tournaments that are important. The Grand Slams, Davis Cup, the Swedish Open; that's about it.

For us, the Grand Slams are very important. When the Grand Slams come, you're thinking, 'OK, this is the tournament.' To lose there is disappointing.

Garbine Muguruza

I know it's not the most important thing for me to win the most Grand Slams and be remembered in this world. I certainly don't have to win little tournaments here, there and everywhere, I don't have to win at all. Although I do want to.

Venus Williams

I know it's not the most important thing for me to win the most grand slams and be remembered in this world. I certainly don't have to win satellite tournaments here there and everywhere, I don't have to win at all. Although I do want to.

I think the Davis Cup has some untapped potential. It should be as prominent as the Grand Slams when it takes place. If you put it together with Fed Cup for an organized, nationalistic team competition taking place in a central location for two weeks, I think that would be beneficial from a fan interest stand point, from a media stand point and from a television stand point.

Jim Courier

I think I will have a lot of chance for big tournaments, especially grand slams.

Kei Nishikori

No one cares about the Davis Cup. How many people know I won five Davis Cups and seven majors, but that I rarely played the Australian Open?

John McEnroe

I have to fit holidays around tournaments, particularly the grand slams, in Melbourne, Paris, London and New York.

Roger Federer

Our biggest events are the Grand Slams and are always going to be the Grand Slams.

John Isner

I prefer playing ATP tournaments and Davis Cup competition rather than Olympic Games.

Dominic Thiem

I wanted to work towards the four majors and the Davis Cup. I know to a lot of people it may not mean too much, but to me (Davis Cup) means an awful lot.

Lleyton Hewitt

When your four biggest tournaments all operate relatively independently, and the ATP and WTA tour operate independently, and you have Davis Cup and Fed Cup that operate independently, it makes it a tough message.

Jim Courier

Grand Slams are four tournaments a year, so of course those are the big ones, those are the ones that people and us players want to do our best at. It's just high level quality of tennis.
