September 16, 2009: "Serena can be disingenuous off the court, make excuses and not give her opponents credit, but I will always remember her and Venus for being incredibly fair and honest on the court. Serena doesn't argue line calls. She doesn't even [use the Hawkeye] challenge. She usually just gets on with it. I've always really admired her for that. This was an aberration. I've never seen her like that."
— ESPN TV analyst Mary Carillo, on Serena Williams's obscenity-laced tirade and threatening gestures toward a U.S. Open lineswoman who called her for foot-faulting, on ESPN.com.

August 21, 2005: "As for the ATP doubles debacle, what a colossal error those knuckleheads have made this time. I approached both my bosses at ESPN and NBC during Wimbledon, and I asked them if the new format for doubles would get doubles more air time. Both network execs laughed at the notion. The ATP has dropped the ball so many times so many ways, but this could be the stupidest 'innovation' of all."

Mary Carillo, award-winning TV tennis analyst
