Roger Federer's first match on clay in almost three years ended with a rapid win over France's Richard Gasquet at the Madrid Open.
The Swiss, 37, took 53 minutes to win 6-2 6-3 against the world number 39.
Gasquet, playing his first tournament of the year following a groin injury, did not look fully fit.
Nevertheless, the 20-time Grand Slam champion was at his ruthless best, delighting a mesmerised Caja Magica with a majestic display.
"It's been a special night for me to come back and play here," fourth seed Federer said.
"I was very calm all day waiting for the match, sometimes nerves can come up when you're waiting all day but only felt them when [I] started talking about tactics.
