Spaniard strolls through in less than two hours
Defending champion Rafael Nadal began his
campaign for a record seventh French Open title by crushing Italian
Simone Bolelli 6-2 6-2 6-1 in the first round.
The second seeded Spaniard, who has only lost one match at Roland
Garros since his debut in 2005, dismissed the world number 111 in just
under two hours on Court Philippe Chatrier.Nadal raced to a 6-2 4-0 lead and although Bolelli pulled a break back when his opponent double-faulted, that was as good as it got for the Italian.
Nadal, who will next face Uzbekistan's Denis Istomin, ended Bolelli's ordeal on his first match point.
