Rafael Nadal easily masters the opening hurdle in Paris

Paris (AP) – Rafael Nadal is in the second round of the French Open. The 13-time Paris champion easily defeated Australia’s Jordan Thompson 6-2, 6-2, 6-2.

The game on Court Philippe Chatrier was over after 2:02 hours. This time there was not much to see of the pain in his foot, which had affected him so much a week and a half ago in Rome. “I’m very happy to be through in three sets,” Nadal said after the game.
