With the sun finally reemerging at Roland Garros for play on Friday, No. 2 seed Rafael Nadal enjoyed a tidy one hour, 45 minute match against 25-year-old Horacio Zeballos. Nadal broke his opponent four times throughout the first two sets, and once again in the third to win easily against the 2009 ATP Newcomer of the Year, 6-2, 6-2, 6-3.
Nadal will next face the winner of Lleyton Hewitt in the third round.
Another former French Open champion was in action Friday morning, as top-ranked Serena Williams took on Julia Goerges. The match lasted under an hour, with Serena dominating, 6-1, 6-1. At one point, she won nine straight games.
