French Open 2010: Round 1 - - Roger Federer Began Title Defense in a Dominant Style Thrashing Australia's Peter Luczak

Paris, France - Roger Federer began defense of his French Open title with a straight-set win on the second day of play at Roland Garros.

The top-seeded Federer cruised to a 6-4, 6-1, 6-2 first-round victory over Australia's Peter Luczak. The Swiss superstar finally won at Roland Garros last spring after three straight losses in the final and completed the career Grand Slam.

Federer is gunning for a 17th career Grand Slam title and second of 2010. He won the Australian Open earlier this year.

Other early winners on Monday included Americans John Isner and Taylor Dent, 15th-seeded Tomas Berdych of the Czech Republic and 20th-seeded Stanislas Wawrinka of Switzerland.

Isner, seeded 17th, topped Kazakhstan's Andrey Golubev, 6-4, 6-3, 6-2, while Dent also moved on with a straight-set win over Ecuador's Nicolas Lapentti. Berdych won a first-set tiebreaker and dropped just four games afterward against Chilean qualifier Jorge Aguilar and Wawrinka lost just seven games in a rout of Czech Jan Hajek.

Also scheduled for play Monday are third-seeded Serb Novak Djokovic and Scotland's Andy Murray. The fourth-seeded Murray has a difficult opener against former top-10 player Richard Gasquet of France. Gasquet is coming off a title on Saturday in Nice.
