Novak Djokovic defeated the world no.83 Marton Fucsovics 7-62 6-0 6-3 on Wednesday to set up a tasty 3rd round match against Alejandro Davidovich Fokina. Novak had a rather quirky press conference after his second-round match. A journalist asked what was a strange metal object that was strapped under his shirt.
Djokovic didn’t miss the chance to throw the journalist and say: “When I was a kid, I liked Iron Man a lot, so I try to impersonate Iron Man. My team delivers an incredibly efficient nanotechnology to help me deliver my best on the court, so that’s the biggest secret of my career. If it wasn’t for that, I probably wouldn’t be sitting here.”
