Roger Federer is displaying an excellent form also in the 1000 BNP Paribas Masters in Paris.
This time it was the turn of Richard Gasque that has been defeated 6-4 6-4.
Even if the result hints to an easy match, the Swiss Maestro conceded that it was an even one.
He said: ‘It is always dangerous playing against Richard here. I do not think there was much between us except maybe a couple of games where I played really wellâ€.
Federer will take on Stephanek in the third round.
On the same side of the draw Federer may play against Murray in the semi-final in what would be an exciting re-match of the 2010 Shanghai Final.
