Swept by the world number 1 (3–6, 1–6 in 1:20) in the round of 16 of the Olympic tournament, Alejandro Davidovich Fokina was totally powerless. Asked at a post-match press conference about this rout, the Spaniard admitted that he had most likely underestimated the Serbian’s mental resources in the face of the enormous pressure.
“I tried to give it my all, I had a few options at the start of the game, but he was way superior. He’s playing at a very high level, he’s extremely consistent and he looks very excited to win here and then in New York. I thought he was going to feel some pressure for the Golden Slam, but he’s very calm. “
