Roger rushes into round 2
Roger started his 50th straight major by defeating Germany's Tomas Kamke (ATP 78) 6-2, 7-5, 6-3 at the French Open today - equalling Jimmy Connors' record of 233 Grand Slam match victories!
"I get a great deal of pleasure playing here. When I play well, the numbers come with me. It's great to have played and won here so often. I hope it continues," Roger said.
Roger scored three out of four break points in the opening set and continued well, securing the important points. He was always in charge, but nevertheless accumuluated over 40 unforced errors and missed several rather certain opportunities. He never got into danger, though, and wrapped up the match after 117 minutes on a sixth match point.
Roger will next face Adrian Ungur (ATP 92) of Romania who eliminated David Nalbandian in four sets.
ce sera un plaisir de vous voir performer sur le sol francais.
Bon succès!
Hope all goes well for you in the next round,be lucky and stay well xx

Fans: did you realise? after the match there was this speech mentioning RF's new records. It was pointed out the Roger is the favourite (DARLING player) of the French Tennis Federation president!
To level Connors records so young and considering how long he played is outstanding congrats! That also reflects the super high quality of your game and your amazing consistency. It was delightful to see you play! You sound beautiful in French as in any language.
