Serena Williams
When asked why she played short of her normal high standard at the French open in 2008, Williams said: "I didn't tie my laces right and I didn't bounce that ball five times and I didn't bring my shower sandals to the court with me. I didn't have my extra dress. I just knew it was fate; it was going to happen."
