PARIS — Andy Murray opened his latest campaign for a first French Open victory with a 6-3 6-3 6-1 win over Argentine Facundo Argueello on Monday.
Black-clad and business-like, the world number three's power, poise and new-found confidence on clay proved too much for the 22-year-old lucky loser who was playing only the second grand slam match of his career.
"I was nervous today. It's always like that in the first round of a major tournament. It shows that you care," the Briton said.
Murray is in the same half of the Roland Garros draw as favorite Novak Djokovic and nine-times champion Rafa Nadal and could play world number eight David Ferrer in the quarter-finals.
