PARIS — 2:43 p.m. (1243 GMT)
Roger Federer is beaming after his straightforward 6-3, 6-3, 6-4 first-round win against Alejandro Falla, a Colombian who entered the main draw as a lucky loser from qualifying.
Facing a player who pushed him to five sets at Wimbledon five years ago, the 2009 Roland Garros champion was never threatened, extending his unbeaten run against the 111th-ranked Falla to 8-0, serving eight aces.
"I love coming here," Federer said. "I wasn't broken. I'm happy."
In the third set, Falla called for a medical timeout, getting some deep massage on his right thigh.
