The only thing slowing down Roger Federer’s march to the third round of the French Open on Wednesday was the rain. Two weather stoppages only delayed the inevitable as Federer eventually finished off his Columbian opponent Alejandro Falla, 7-6, 6-2, 6-4.
It wasn’t a total breeze for Federer, however. He struggled in the first set, hitting 21 unforced errors and eventually being broken by Falla after saving five chances. Roger quickly broke back, and then took the tiebreak, 7-4.
Next up for the world’s No. 1 is Julian Reister, a German qualifier.
