Lizzie: Good thing you didn’t get the wrong window.
Peter: I did, but your dad’s a very quick shag.

Peter: My parents are still together, which proves that love isn’t just blind, it’s bloody stupid.

Peter: Well, most of the time. A part of me was afraid my life would be over if I wasn’t playing tennis. The truth is, it was really just beginning. Oh, and by the way, Lizzie did win the US Open. And Wimbledon. Twice.

Peter: You really are a wanker!
Carl: Harsh… but fair.

Dennis: Look, Peter, I got nothing against ya personally, you seem like a nice guy and ah…
Peter: Oh, good.
Dennis: I’m not an idiot, I know Lizzie likes to have her fun, keeps her relaxed, if you were just another easy… Y’know, well that would be one thing but you’re not, are you?
Peter: As matter of fact, I was incredibly easy.

Dieter: And like all young men, he must first be taught the lesson of humility.

Lizzie: Go out there and decide who you are.
Peter: Who might that be?
Lizzie: It might be a winner.

Lizzie: My parents got divorced when I was 13. My mom was always on the road trying to become a singer.
Peter: What went wrong?
Lizzie: She couldn’t sing.

Lizzie: Love means nothing in tennis. Zero. It only means you lose.

Peter: I thought you’d gone.
Lizzie: Me too. Having a tough day?
Peter: Oh you know, disastrous.
Lizzie: Except for the fact you didn’t go gooey when the ballboy got hit.
Peter: Yeah. Sorry.
Lizzie: Why are you British apologizing all the time? Don’t apologize to me, I love you. Apologize to all the fans out there who are rooting for you.
Peter: What did you say?
Lizzie: I said all those people…
Peter: No, before that.
Lizzie: I said I love you.
Peter: Well, that’s very good news. I thought I was all alone in the love department.
Lizzie: It turns out you’ve got company.

• Getting the actors to play professional-looking tennis proved much more difficult than anticipated. Eventually, it was decided to film them performing the strokes and digitally add the ball afterward.
• The movie cast professional, but little-known, tennis players to play against the stars. In the director’s commentary, Richard Loncraine shared that he met an up-and-coming female tennis player but rejected her as she looked too similar to Kirsten Dunst. She was Maria Sharapova, before she went on to win several Grand Slam Titles, including Wimbledon.
• Scenes for the film were shot during the 2003 Wimbledon tournament. The actors would walk out on court at the beginning or end of a match as though they were really competing. The officials and spectators were actual tennis officials and spectators, rather than extras. It is the only time in the tournament’s history that this has been allowed.
• Paul Bettany mentions in Assembled: The Making of WandaVision that he was asked to voice JARVIS in Iron Man when Jon Favreau remembered him from their work on this film.
• The set for Peter Colt’s home is the same one used for William Thacker’s house in Notting Hill (1999).
• Paul Bettany trained for six months with former champion Pat Cash to be convincing as a professional tennis player. (He had never played tennis before.) Seemingly, his serve was nearly at pro standard.
• At the end of the movie, Peter climbs into the stands to his family after winning the title. This was actually done at Wimbledon for the first time after Australian Pat Cash won the title in 1987.
