Watch all the Olympics action here!
With more than little to prove to himself and the tennis world, Switzerland’s Roger Federer used the foreign idea of country pride in the notoriously selfish sport to dismiss Russia’s Dmitry Tursunov 6-4, 6-2 in Federer’s most impressive victory since the 2008 Wimbledon semi-finals.
Federer will next play the winner of the Hyung-Taik Lee (South Korea) vs. Rafael Arevalo (Spain) in the round of 32.
Earlier, Rafael Nadal (Spain) also won his opening round against Potito Starace (Italy) and will next face the winner of the Lleyton Hewitt (Australia) vs. Jonas Bjorkman (Sweden) match.
