Roger Federer ran off 13 straight games in beating French wild card Maxime Teixeira 6-3, 6-0, 6-2 on Wednesday in the second round of the French Open.
The 2009 champion at Roland Garros was broken once early in the first set. But after Teixeira held to go to 3-3, Federer dominated and didn’t lose another game until the Frenchman made it 4-1 in the third.
Wozniacki through
Top-seeded Caroline Wozniacki scrapped into the third round, needing almost two hours to defeat Aleksandra Wozniak of Canada 6-2, 7-6 (6).
Wozniacki saved three consecutive set points in the tiebreaker but finally prevailed when her opponent sent a forehand volley in the net on her first match point.
Wozniacki again played with a bandage on her left thigh and never looked comfortable on court, making 24 unforced errors.
The Dane had her left leg treated during her victory in the final of a clay-court tournament in Brussels last weekend.
Stosur progresses
Also, 2010 French Open finalist Sam Stosur advanced to the third round by beating Simona Halep 6-0, 6-2. The eighth-seeded Stosur had 21 winners and broke her opponent six times before she served out the match at love.
