Djokovic, Nadal sweep first-round opposition

Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal had little trouble in their first-round matches at the French Open on Monday.

Djokovic defeated Spain's Marcel Granollers 6-3, 6-4, 6-2, while Nadal's search for an unprecedented 10th title at Roland Garros began with a 6-1, 6-4, 6-1 victory over Benoit Paire.

Djokovic, who completed a career Grand Slam in Paris last year but has been struggling with form and confidence since, was watched by new coach Andre Agassi as he begins his bid to become the first man in the Open era -- and only the third in history -- to win each of the Grand Slams twice.
