Roger Federer cruised into the quarter-finals of the French Open on Sunday with a straight-set victory over Leonardo Mayer of Argentina 6-2, 6-3, 6-3. It’s like you’re serving from sort of a tree, from a mountain, and from the other one you feel like you’re playing up the hill,” Federer said. In other action, 11-time French Open champion Rafael Nadal advanced to the quarter-finals by besting another Argentine, Juan Ignacio Londero, 6-2, 6-3, 6-3. His serve was broken just once, and Nadal broke Londero’s serve six times in 12 chances. Nadal’s next opponent will be the winner of the match between seventh-seeded Kei Nishikori of Japan and home-country favorite Benoit Paire.
