- In the end second game I got the good feeling. My self-confidence came back, and I tried to play longer rallies, and it worked, Deprez says.

- I was nice to be on court today. I had my team in my back, and I could feel their support. There was not much pressure on me, and that was good, Luise Heim says.

- It is good to have the bronze medals, but now we want more.

Germany will play either Spain or Turkey in the semi-final on Saturday.
