Kei Nishikori, the last of five Japanese men who started the French Open, is in a hurry.
Last year's U.S. Open runner-up, seeded fifth at the French, breezed through a second-round 7-5, 6-4, 6-4 victory in 2 hours, 22 minutes.
His opponent, 40th-ranked Brazilian Thomaz Bellucci, did himself no favors by serving 10 double-faults.
Nishikori won in straight sets in the first round, too.
He next plays Benjamin Becker in the third round. The German lost his last two matches against the Japanese, in 2014. Becker advanced from the second round by putting out the 32nd seed, Fernando Verdasco, 6-4, 0-6, 1-6, 7-5, 10-8.
