Tomas Berdych puts in solid performance in first-round win over Vasek Pospisil

Tomas Berdych comfortably progressed into the second round of the French Open with a straight-sets win over Vasek Pospisil in Paris on Tuesday.

The Czech, who reached the semi-finals of the Grand Slam in 2010, administered a 6-3 6-2 6-1 triumph in one hour and 40 minutes.

Berdych eased to a 3-0 lead in the opening set, and even though Pospisil was able to break back, it was not enough to stop his opponent from taking the set.

The 30-year-old continued to dominate as he broke twice in the second set and saved two break points before doubling his lead on the clay court.

It took just 27 minutes for Berdych to wrap up the third set as he broke every single one of Pospisil's service games.
