It was an excellent performance from the 17-time Grand Slam champion who needed just one hour and 47 minutes to oust the Spaniard.<\/p>\n<p>[sc:Other240banner ]Federer, who improved to 3-0 against Granollers, blasted 38 winners and won 82% of his first serve points. What proved to be the difference in the match, however, was his return. Federer won 45% of his receiving points against the Spaniard with the Swiss star converting five of his eight break point opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>Next up for Federer is a third-round clash with Damir Dzumhur. The 33-year-old has never faced the young Bosnian before with Federer saying \u201cit&#8217;s going to be an interesting matchup.\u201d Federer will have no problem beating Dzumhur, though, especially if he can continue his strong net play. He won 30 of his 37 net points on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>Federer is 8-2 in his last 10 matches.<\/p>\n<p>The French Open is finally here! <a title=\"Join Top Bet sportsbook\" href=\"http:\/\/record.tbaffiliate.com\/_y8k7RB3Ll4xutv7iXV6HvmNd7ZgqdRLk\/9\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"broken_link\" rel=\"nofollow\">Create a betting account now<\/a> and cash in on all the exciting tennis action.<\/p>\n<h3>Betting on Damir Dzumhur<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Damir+Dzumhur+Australian+Open+Qualifying+4920viphdMll.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-61947\" alt=\"Damir Dzumhur\" src=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Damir+Dzumhur+Australian+Open+Qualifying+4920viphdMll.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Damir+Dzumhur+Australian+Open+Qualifying+4920viphdMll.jpg 600w, http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Damir+Dzumhur+Australian+Open+Qualifying+4920viphdMll-250x166.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The dream lives on for Damir Dzumhur.<\/p>\n<p>The Bosnian star barged into the third round of the French Open with a 6-4, 6-3, 4-6, 6-2 win over Marcos Baghdatis on Wednesday. It has been a remarkable journey for Dzumhur who reached the third round of the French Open for the first time in his career.<\/p>\n<p>Key to his second-round victory was his excellent return. He won 45% of his receiving points against Baghdatis as he converted seven of his 19 break point chances. He also found some success in his forays to the net, winning 26 of his 41 points there.<\/p>\n<p>He will need to display that same form of aggressiveness in the next round where he will face his boyhood idol Roger Federer. Although the odds are stacked against Dzumhur in recording a shock upset, the 23-year-old will take some comfort in the fact that Federer was far from perfect in the previous round.<\/p>\n<p>Federer committed a whopping 34 unforced errors in his second-round match against Granollers. That is great news for Dzumhur who recorded 37 winners in his victory against Baghdatis. For him to pull off the massive surprise, though, Dzumhur needs to improve on his first serve percentage. He only converted 64% of his first serves against Baghdatis in the second round. That simply won\u2019t do against a world-class player in Federer who\u2019s 11-3 on clay this season.<\/p>\n<p>Dzumhur is 6-4 in his last 10 matches.<\/p>\n<h3>Writer\u2019s Prediction<\/h3>\n<p>Federer (<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/tennis\/french-open-mens-matchups-parlayable\" target=\"_blank\">-5,000<\/a><\/strong>) beats Dzumhur in straight sets.<\/p>\n[sc:Other490banner ]\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"pvc_stats all \" data-element-id=\"61915\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"chart-bar\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chart-bar fa-w-16 fa-2x\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M396.8 352h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V108.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v230.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm-192 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V140.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v198.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm96 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V204.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v134.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zM496 400H48V80c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16H16C7.16 64 0 71.16 0 80v336c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h464c8.84 0 16-7.16 16-16v-16c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16zm-387.2-48h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8v-70.4c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v70.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i> &nbsp;2,224&nbsp;total views<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Roger Federer\u2019s quest for a second French Open title remains right on track after defeating Marcel Granollers in the second round on Wednesday.
