Federer eases past Teixeire

Roger Federer gave French wild card Maxime Teixeira a grand slam lesson in the second round of the French Open this morning.

The 2009 champion was playing in his 46th consecutive major – 45 more than his opponent – and, after a scrappy opening, Federer went on a run of 13 consecutive games before closing out the victory 6-3 6-0 6-2 in an hour and 24 minutes.
