    SOUNDBITE (English) Bruno Soares, mixed doubles winner: (On winning two Grand Slams in less than 24 hours)

    "You don't get the chance to play many Grand Slam finals. I think you got to make the most of it. I mean, it's special. To get the chance to play one and win one, it's already extremely special. I mean. I got two in the same day."

    SOUNDBITE (English) Bruno Soares, mixed doubles winner: (On how much he slept between the two finals)

    "I went to bed at 5:00. I set my alarm for 11:00. I woke up at 8:30. I was trying to fight a little bit, couldn't do it, so just decided to go for breakfast. Been living on coffee ever since. So I had 22 coffees already today. But now it's all worth it."

    SOUNDBITE (English) Elena Vesnina, mixed doubles winner: (On her first mixed doubles win after losing three previous finals)

    "So three times. Yeah, four times lucky. I thought it's third time. I'm really happy about that. And thank you to Bruno."
