Former champion Roger Federer and 11-time winner Rafael Nadal moved into the third round of the French Open at Roland Garros without dropping a set.
Federer, the 2009 champion, needed only 96 minutes to see off Germany’s lucky loser Oscar Otte.
The Swiss third seed, playing in the tournament for the first time since 2015, beat the world 144 6-4 6-3 6-4.
Defending champion Nadal eased to a 6-1 6-2 6-4 win over Germany’s world number 114 Yannick Maden.
Nadal won the first five games of the match on his way to taking the opening set in 42 minutes and then broke 29-year-old Maden’s serve in the opening service game of the second.
Maden, playing in the second round of a Grand Slam for the first time, managed to break Nadal’s serve twice in the third set, but struggled to hold on to his own serve as the second seed moved into the last 32.
He is the second German qualifier that Nadal has defeated at this year’s French Open after his first-round win over Yannick Hanfmann on Monday.
Nadal will now face Belgium’s David Goffin in round three. (BBC)
