"I haven't gotten any flowers in a really long time from someone of the opposite sex that doesn't have to do with business," sighed the American star after her second round victory over Melinda Czink.

"When I did get flowers I didn't appreciate 'em, so... I love roses. I love red roses. I love white roses. I love pink roses. Pink is my favourite colour. Anything with a rose."

When told that she ran the risk of seeing the All England Club swamped by bouquets, Serena, who has won Wimbledon four times, added: "I hope I didn't start anything."
