French Open: Federer moves into 3rd round

Roger Federer is on a roll again in the French Open. The Swiss star won 13 straight games with a powerful display in the second round in Paris on Wednesday.

It was French wild card Maxime Teixeira's first time to meet Federer. The French youngster seemed so nervous that he double-faulted his way to a love-2 disadvantage right from the start.

But Teixeira finally settled down to hold serve and take the match to 3-all in the opening set. Federer took over from there. He won the first set 6-3.

Federer continued his dominance in the second set with a 22-minute demolition. The Swiss was in stride with a 6-love scoreline. The rest of the match went on without any doubt.

The 3rd seeded Federer closed out Teixeira with ease and moved to the 3rd round. His next opponent will be 29th seed Janko Tipsarevic, who beat Pere Riba of Spain to advance.

Wozniacki advances to 3rd round

Over on Philippe Chatrier court, women's top seed Caroline Wozniacki of Denmark also moved on to the third round. She took a straight sets victory over Aleksandra Wozniak.

The Danish player worked her way through a second set tiebreak against the stubborn Canadian, but Wozniacki eventually prevailed for the win.

Other matches saw 2010 French Open finalist Sam Stosur advance to the third round by beating Simona Halep. Julia Goerges defeated Lucie Safarova in three sets, Gisela Dulko thrashed Tsvetana Pironkova, and Anastasia Rodionova had a win over Edina Gallovits-Hall 6-1, 6-4.
