Federer, Djokovic, Murray win French openersTennis Betting Lines05/24/2010 - Paris, France (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Roger Federer began defense of his French Open title with a straight-set win on the second day of play at Roland Garros. Third-seeded Novak Djokovic and No. 4 seed Andy Murray also moved on in Paris. The world No. 1 Federer cruised to a 6-4, 6-1, 6-2 first-round victory over Australia's Peter Luczak, who's now 0-4 at the French Open. Federer tallied a mere 11 unforced errors and faced only one break point in a routine bout. "It's always important coming back as defending champion, trying to get off to a good start," Federer said. "It was like a perfect match to get off the French Open campaign." The Swiss superstar finally won at Roland Garros last spring after three straight losses in the final and completed the career Grand Slam. The 28-year-old Federer is gunning for a 17th career Grand Slam title and second of 2010. He won the Australian Open back in January. Federer, who beat Swede Robin Soderling in last year's Roland Garros finale, will encounter Colombian Alejandro Falla in the round of 64. The former Australian Open champion Djokovic needed four sets to win his first-rounder, which he did against Russia's Evgeny Korolev, 6-1, 3-6, 6-1, 6-3. Djokovic is a two-time French Open semifinalist who was upset in the third round here a year ago. Meanwhile, the Aussie Open runner-up Murray fought back from two sets down to get past French crowd favorite Richard Gasquet 4-6, 6-7 (5-7), 6-4, 6-2, 6-1. Gasquet, who titled in Nice this past weekend, required medical attention on more than one occasion during his Day-2 setback. Murray prevailed in 4 hours, 4 minutes, with the help of 17 aces and seven breaks, compared to only three breaks for the French loser. Twelfth-seeded Chilean slugger Fernando Gonzalez got past Brazil's Thiago Alves in four sets, 6-2, 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, while 13th-seeded Frenchman Gael Monfils held off German lucky-loser Dieter Kindlmann 6-3, 7-5, 6-7 (5-7), 6-2 and 14th-seeded Croat Ivan Ljubicic topped Taipei's Yen-Hsun Lu 7-6 (7-5), 7-5, 6-3."Gonzo" was a semifinalist here last year, which marked his best-ever French showing. Some other seeded winners on Monday were No. 15 Czech Tomas Berdych, No. 17 American John Isner, No. 20 Swiss Stanislas Wawrinka. No. 24 Brazilian Thomaz Bellucci and No. 25 Cypriot Marcos Baghdatis. Berdych topped Chilean qualifier Jorge Aguilar 7-6 (9-7), 6-1, 6-1; Isner handled Kazakhstan's Andrey Golubev 6-4, 6-3, 6-2; Wawrinka waltzed past Czech Jan Hajek 6-1, 6-3, 6-3; Bellucci beat France's Michael Llodra 6-4, 6-2, 6-2; and the former Aussie Open runner- up Baghdatis drilled American Jesse Witten 6-3, 6-4, 6-3. Mild Day-2 upsets came when Serbian Viktor Troicki dismissed 21st-seeded Spaniard Tommy Robredo 6-4, 6-4, 6-3 and German Julian Reister erased 27th- seeded Spaniard Feliciano Lopez 6-1, 7-6 (7-5), 6-2. Also on Monday, Slovakian Lukas Lacko outlasted American qualifier Michael Yani 4-6, 7-6 (7-5), 7-6 (7-4), 6-7 (5-7), 12-10, which ties the record for the most games played in a match (71) at Roland Garros since tiebreaks were introduced in 1973. The marathon match was suspended because of darkness here on Sunday, with the score tied at 8-8 in the fifth set.
