Federer: 'First round was nerve wracking'

Roger Federer admitted he was relieved to have got his first-round match out of the way as his quest for a first French Open title got under way yesterday.

The world number one opened his 10th Roland Garros campaign with a 6-4 6-4 6-3 victory over 20-year-old Californian Sam Querrey on a rain-affected day in Paris.
