Roger Federer did what Roger Federer does on Friday at the French Open: Demolished some guy you’ve never heard of.
French Open, Day 6: Roger Federer Rolls To Fourth Round; Fernando Gonzalez Routed By Rookie
Qualifier Julian Reister was the victim in the third round, showing up for his beating at the hands of the world’s best player, who cruised, 6-4, 6-0, 6-4, in about 90 minutes of play. Federer gave his opponent zero break chances, while converting five of his 13 opportunities.
Next up for Fed is a possible fourth round match-up with fellow Swiss player and part-time doubles partner Stanislas Wawrinka.
Elsewhere on Friday afternoon, 12th-seeded Fernando Gonzalez was routed in the second round by newcomer Alexandr Dolgopolov, 6-3, 6-4, 6-3. Gonzalez was a semi-finalist at Roland Garros last year, and typically excels on this surface. Dolgopolov is playing in his first Grand Slam event.
