Rafael Nadal's pursuit of a 10th French Open title continued on Thursday with a comfortable second-round win.
The Spaniard - chasing his own version of 'La Decima' - saw off Argentina's Facundo Bagnis on Philippe Chatrier 6-3 6-0 6-3.
The victory also represented Nadal's 200th win in grand slam competition.
The main blot on Nadal's copybook was a drop of serve in the third set, but for a man who has developed an unwanted knack of making early exits at major tournaments, he will surely just be glad to get through.
Nadal won more than 50 per cent of the points on Bagnis' serve and 80 per cent of the break points he was given.
Next up for Nadal will be countryman Marcel Granollers or home favourite Nicolas Mahut.
