Not-so-jolly Roger blasts French Open organisers

Roger Federer struggled his way into the second round of the French Open today and then aimed a verbal volley at the tournament organisers.

World number one Federer saw off Argentinian lucky loser Diego Hartfield 7-5 7-6 (7-2) 6-2 in two hours and 36 minutes but turned in a performance which will have done little to worry his main rival at Roland Garros Rafael Nadal.
