Federer warms up for French Open

Roger Federer began his final warm-up for the French Open with a convincing 6-1, 7-5 win over Robin Soderling at the Madrid Open today.



The Swiss star hit 24 winners and took advantage of the Swedish player\'s 25 unforced errors to capture four break points.



Federer fired down 11 aces, including on the final point to clinch his place in the third round.



Federer, who had a bye for the first round, could lose his Number two position in the rankings to Andy Murray without a good showing at the joint ATP and WTA event.



Murray, the new Number three scored a tough 7-6, 6-4 win against Simone Bolelli.



Murray, the defending champion, clinched the win with the only break of the match in the final game when Bolelli netted a forehand.



Murray will next play No. 16 Tommy Robredo after the Spaniard rallied to defeat Mardy Fish of the United States 3-6, 7-6, 6-2.



Earlier, Ivan Ljubicic scored the first upset after beating ninth-seeded Jo-Wilfried Tsonga 6-4, 7-5.



On the women\'s side, fourth-seeded Jelena Jankovic overcame a stubborn challenge from Daniela Hantuchova to win 7-5, 6-2.



Jankovic broke Hantuchova five times in the match to set up a third round match with Elena Vesnina of Russia.



Ninth-seeded Caroline Wozniacki advanced to play either Venus Williams or Alisa Kleybanova, while France\'s Amelie Mauresmo will play third-seeded Elena Dementieva after a 6-2, 7-5 win over China\'s Jie Zheng.
