Round-up: Tomas Berdych rattles past Vasek Pospisil, Bernard Tomic blasts Brian Baker

Czech superstar Tomáš Berdych was in great form as he beat Vasek Pospisil in straight sets in his opening match at Roland Garros.

Berdych in great shape with opening win

Tomas Berdych (Czech Republic) beat Vasek Pospisil (Canada) 6-3 6-2 6-1 - Czech seventh seed Tomas Berdych won 6-3 6-2 6-1 to make it safely in the second round. The former Wimbledon finalist broke his opponent eight times in the encounter - though also lost his own serve twice, with a first serve percentage that dipped below 50%. He'll need to pick up that aspect of his game, though his count of 27 winners shows that his ground strokes are in good shape.

Tomic rolls past Baker

20-Bernard Tomic (Australia) beat Brian Baker (U.S.) 6-3 6-4 6-4 - Aussie bad boy Bernard Tomic dominated his American opponent with a torrent of winners in his first round match. The 6'5" Aussie world number two was pushed hard at times by his 662nd-ranked opponent, seeing his serve broken at one point, but he kept his calm and saved eight further break points as he won a solid victory in straight sets - a big win after a dreadful clay season so far.

Bedene belts Melzer

Aljaz Bedene (Britain) beat Gerald Melzer (Austria) 4-6 6-3 6-4 6-4 - British number two Aljaz Bedene earned a spot in the second round of the French Open with a solid showing against Austrian journeyman Melzer. After losing the first set, Bedene impressed as he didn't have to face another break point - his likely opponent in round two will be 31st seed Federico Delbonis.
