Serena Williams Wants to Compete at 2016 Olympic Games

LUIS ACOSTA/AFP/GettyImages(LONDON) -- Even with a career Golden Slam, Serena Williams is hungry for more.  After defeating Maria Sharapova for the gold medal on Saturday, Williams plans on defending that title in 2016 at the Rio de Janeiro games.

"I plan on being there unless an act of God doesn't allow me to," the fourth-ranked Williams said Monday on ABC's Good Morning America.

Williams and her sister Venus picked up double's gold on Sunday to complete the London Games sweep and still feels she can compete at the highest level, even at the age of 30. Twenty-seven-year-old Michael Phelps, the 18-time gold medalist, has said that these London Games would be the last of his competition career.

"When I feel I can't be the greatest I shouldn't play anymore, but I feel I belong. I'm not tired. I'm enjoying myself," said Williams.

Williams joined Steffi Graff as the only other Women's player to complete a golden slam and will compete in the U.S. Open later this month.

Murray Gets Revenge, Wins Gold in London

Clive Brunskill/Getty Images(WIMBLEDON) -- Andy Murray finally won a match against his longtime nemesis and took home gold in the process.

Murray defeated Roger Federer of Switzerland in the Olympic Men’s Tennis Final on Sunday at Wimbeldon in straight sets, 6-2, 6-1, 6-4 to bring home the gold for his native Great Britain.  

The victory came four weeks after Murray was trounced by Federer on Centre Court in the Wimbledon Final. The Scotsman won the first set of that final before dropping the final three.

"I've had a lot of tough losses in my career," he said. "This is the best way to come back from the Wimbledon final. I'll never forget it."

Murray has still not won a Grand Slam tournament, but the hometown crowd at the All England Club was behind Murray from the start.

Murray dominated throughout, winning nine straight games at one point and breaking Federer’s serve four times.

It marks the first time Murray has bested Federer in a final, having lost to him in three Grand Slam Finals.

Federer was looking to complete the career Golden Slam by winning his first Olympic singles final, but had to settle for silver.
