Roger Federer did not have too much to force his talent on Wednesday to dismiss the lucky German loser Oscar Otte (144th) 6-4, 6-3, 6-4 and thus reach the 3rd round of Roland-Garros.
In the next round, the world N.3 who returns to Paris clay for the first time since 2015, will face the Norwegian Casper Ruud (63).
"It was not the best game of my life," said the 37-year-old Swiss.
"He helped me too: he made mistakes ... fortunately," he added about his opponent, who he admitted he did not know before that meeting.
"It's the magic of the Grand Slams: you come across players who come from the qualifications and you do not know.In the beginning, when they serve aces, you do not know if it's normal or if it's luck! ", he noted.
"I had experience on my side ... as often as I'm so super-old!", He concluded by causing laughter in the tribunes Philippe Court Chatrier all acquired to his cause.
