Tennis-Nadal breezes into French Open third round

After world number 236 McDonald won the second game, Nadal bagged 11 games in a row to move two sets up and despite some resistance from his opponent early in the third set, he had no trouble improving win-loss record at Roland Garros to 95-2.

Rafa Nadal continued his quest for a record-extending 13th French Open title with a 6-1 6-0 6-3 crushing of American Mackenzie McDonald to advance into the third round on Wednesday. The Spanish second seed, also looking to equal Roger Federer's men's record of 20 singles Grand Slam titles, was never bothered on court Philippe Chatrier.

The claycourt master played deep, used his forehand to devastating effect to set up a meeting with Japanese Kei Nishikori or Italian Stefano Travaglia. After world number 236 McDonald won the second game, Nadal bagged 11 games in a row to move two sets up, and despite some resistance from his opponent early in the third set, he had no trouble improving win-loss record at Roland Garros to 95-2.
