Federer Through to 3rd Round

Roger Federer(#2) won his 1st match at the Monte Carlo Master Series yesterday, beating Andreas Seppi (6-4, 6-4) in straight sets. His command of the game continues and definitely should be monitored in this event; being that it is on clay - his surface nemesis.

His chief competition, Raphael Nadal(#1) also won yesterday (6-2, 6-3) over Juan Ignacio Chela. A faceoff of epic proportion is a looming possibility.

Both Federer and Nadal continue their quest today in the 3rd Round of match play.
