PARIS, May 31 (UPI) -- After two rain delays on Wednesday, world No.1 Roger Federer beat Alejandro Falla of Colombia, 6-1, 6-4, 6-3 in the second round of the French Open.
"It's not easy, you know, to come on and off. Conditions are really slow and wet and everything," said the top-seeded Federer, a seven-time Grand Slam champion, who struggled to win his first-round match against little-known Diego Hartfield on Sunday. "The match was OK. I sort of played really well in the first set. After that it was on and off. That was I think normal with the rain."
Other winners were No. 3 seed David Nalbandian of Agentina, sixth-seeded Nikolay Davydenko of Russia, 10th-seeded Gaston Gaudio of Argentina, Juan Carlos Ferrero, Carlos Moya, No. 13 Nicolas Kiefer of Germany, No. 20 Tomas Berdych of the Czech Republic and Lukas Dlouhy, also from the Czech Republic.
