From Roger Federer to Nick Kyrgios, Naomi Osaka to Coco Gauff, the stars maintained their propensity for memorable media-room moments.

Venus Williams talked about a toy, Petra Kvitova got winkingly literal, and Serena Williams and Andy Murray good-naturedly mocked the ongoing line of injury-centric questions that they receive.
