ROGER Federer was in no mood to hang around as he moved into the third round of the French Open with a 6-2 6-1 6-1 demolition of India’s Somdev Devvarman on Wednesday (May 29), but his title credentials were barely put to the test in a hopelessly one-sided match.
Federer, chasing a second French Open title, was never put under pressure and ruthlessly exploited his opponent’s frailties.
The Swiss did not lose a point against the 188th ranked qualifier until the third game and took the first set in just 23 minutes with two breaks of serve.
The 17-times grand slam winner broke a further three times in both the second and third sets as Devvarman wilted.
