French Open: Rafael Nadal cruises past Simone Bolelli

Rafael Nadal began his quest for a seventh French Open title with a 6-2 6-2 6-1 win victory over Italian Simone Bolelli.
Compatriot David Ferrer, the sixth seed who is scheduled to meet Nadal at the semi-final stage, began with a 6-3 6-4 6-1 win over Slovakian Lukas Lacko.
Eighth seed Janko Tipsarevic came back to beat Sam Querrey in four sets, while Frenchman Richard Gasquet, the 17th seed, beat Juergen Zopp 6-3 6-4 7-6.
In our opinion, it was a very good but easy game for the mallorquin...
