Bob and Mike Bryan (USA)
On carrying on for another four years to play at Rio 2016...
BOB BRYAN: We talked about going to Rio. We want to extend our career another four and go out.
MIKE BRYAN: We said if we play a day past Rio, we're going to shoot each other, but that's our goal. We talked about it about a month ago. It would be a nice way to finish, in Rio. Stay healthy and see what happens.
On reaching the final...
BOB BRYAN: We're coming off the court right now. It's all sinking in. We're enjoying that victory. It's a tough team against two great ball‑strikers. We served well, played good grass court doubles. Tomorrow is going to be pretty insane. Like Mike said, this could be our last shot at Olympic glory. I'm very happy we do have a medal because semifinals is no guarantee that you're leaving with the hardware.
Maria Sharapova (RUS)
On playing at the Olympics...
SHARAPOVA: I feel although we play for our country and we represent it on a daily basis, I think that at the Olympics, there's so much more pride. You're doing it for the country. I mean, especially in Russia, it's such a huge part of our culture. I grew up where it was all about watching the Olympics, the opening ceremony, just being so happy. It really just brought the nation together. As athletes, that was just one of our goals, is make it there, compete there, not just be there, but try to win a medal, try to win the gold. It's just that passion we have playing for our country."
Roger Federer (SUI)
On his emotions at match point...
FEDERER: Very much so, because I had the big chance in the first match point where I ended up missing the volley, had two really good chances with my forehand, couldn't finish it. Then having to make an extra round of serving at deuce, then again at advantage through second serves and all that stuff, it was obviously nerve‑wracking also for myself.
FEDERER: Obviously being aware, as well, it's the first medal for Switzerland during this Olympics, it was a big thing that carried me through. I mean, just the level of play throughout was amazing, especially from Juan Martin. I've never seen him play so well, to be honest, from start to finish, particularly on grass. He should be very proud of his performance. I felt very bad for him at net. It was an emotional hug we sort of gave each other. It's not over for him yet. I hope he can make the turnaround and play a good bronze medal match.
On how calm he felt during the final set...
FEDERER: I was tense. I was nervous. Obviously I was seeing myself as the loser many times during the match, but at the same time also I did see myself with medals. So you go through many emotions. You just hope somehow you come out on the other side as a winner and secure yourself a medal, which is now the case. I couldn't be more happy and more pleased. It's a big moment in my life and a big moment for Switzerland because we don't have a medal yet. I hope that also inspires other Swiss athletes for the Olympics now.
Serena Williams (USA)
On one of the two finalists - Serena or Maria - winning a career Golden Grand Slam, all four majors and the Olympics...
WILLIAMS: One of us is definitely going to get it. That will be great. I'm excited to have that opportunity. Roger is in the final, too? That makes three. Roger, me and Maria. The odds are good. It will be good.
On facing Maria Sharapova in the final...
WILLIAMS: Well, Maria does everything really well. She's improved so much from week-to-week. I mean, the worst thing for her to do is lose because the next time she comes out, she wins and improves, she never looks back. For me, that's going to be really important, knowing I'm playing a great player, French Open champion. I have to really do my best. I don't have anything to lose tomorrow. She's No. 3 in the world. I just do the best I can. Whether I win or not, it will be just a great opportunity for me to get this far.
Novak Djokovic (SRB)
On losing to Andy Murray...
DJOKOVIC: Well, he played better in the important moments. He served extremely well, used that element in his game efficiently when he needed to. I had a lot of break balls in the second set. Practically every service game I had chance in the second set to make a break, especially the one on five-all. Yeah, it's a disappointing loss, but he deserves to be in the finals.
On it being a consolation to still have a chance of winning the bronze medal...
DJOKOVIC: Yeah, it is, definitely. I will try to wake up tomorrow, compose myself, try to gather all the positive energy, as much as I can. Motivation is always there, obviously. Try to repeat the success that I had four years ago.
Andy Murray (GBR)
On facing Roger Federer again so soon after their Wimbledon showdown...
MURRAY: Well, I want to try and win. I don't think going into matches trying to get revenge for something that's happened in the past really helps. I think you need to try and focus on the future. The one thing I hope on Sunday, he's not played for the gold medal in singles before, and most times when I played him he's experienced the situations way, way more times than me. He probably played eight Wimbledon finals or something like that. For me, it was my first one.
MURRAY: It's so rare for him to be in a position where he's trying to do something new because he's achieved so much in tennis. I hope that will even things out a little bit. It's going to be a tough match. Obviously I'll need to play great tennis to win. I hope it's a great match because I think the way the matches went today, I think the tournament deserves a great final. I hope we can provide that.
On what it would mean to win the gold medal...
MURRAY: I don't know. You can't say until those things happen. I mean, I know how much winning tonight meant to me. It was, yeah, one of the biggest matches of my career, one of the biggest wins of my career. It was one of the most emotional I've been after a match, so happy to win. You don't see me smiling that much normally. I haven't stopped smiling since I came off the court.
MURRAY: I mean, even afterwards, like all the volunteers and staff are just so, like, pumped, so happy. All the people that obviously came to watch and have hung around outside, it's so different to what we normally experience in tennis. It's so, so different. We normally just get the people on our team congratulating us after we've won a tournament. It's so, so different at this event.
On what is more important, a Grand Slam title or an Olympic gold medal...
MURRAY: Well, if you asked me before the tournament, I would have said, within tennis, a Wimbledon title, a Slam title is the most important thing to do in your career, but within sport, a gold medal is, for sure, the pinnacle. Everyone understands what a gold medal is. After what I experienced tonight, it would be right up there with anything else that I could achieve in tennis. So it's impossible to say because I've never won a Slam before. I haven't won a gold medal before, but winning a silver medal at least feels really good. And losing in the final of a Grand Slam felt terrible (smiling).
