PARIS (Reuters) - Top seed and defending champion Rafael Nadal’s trouble-free passage through the early rounds at the French Open is expected to continue against unseeded Argentine Leonardo Mayer in the third round on Saturday.
Nadal has not dropped a set to Mayer, ranked 65 in the world, in their two contests. They meet in the second game on the Philippe Chatrier show court after fifth seed Petra Kvitova, Wimbledon champion in 2011, plays 27th seed Svetlana Kuznetsova, champion here in 2009.
