Roger Federer vs. Damir Dzumhur: Score and Reaction from 2015 French Open

World No. 2 Roger Federer eased through to the fourth round of the 2015 French Open on Friday in Paris as he saw off Bosnian youngster Damir Dzumhur 6-4, 6-3, 6-2.   

Federer made early gains at Roland Garros in his third-round match and never looked truly troubled by Dzumhur as he cruised to victory in 88 minutes.

The ATP World Tour account confirmed Federer's triumph, which sees him through to the next round to face either Uruguay's Pablo Cuevas or France's Gael Monfils:

Dzumhur certainly did not look overwhelmed as he served first against Federer on Philippe-Chatrier Court, taking the opening game with relative ease.

However, it did not take long for the Swiss legend to assert his authority on the third-round encounter, breaking in the fifth game to take a 3-2 lead.

Federer then held his serve to take the first set 6-4, assisted by a few errors from his opponent, but some phenomenal net play from the 17-time Grand Slam winner made things tough for Dzumhur.

As BBC Tennis reported, it was quick work from Federer, who barely allowed Dzumhur to settle in:

Indeed the 33-year-old came racing out of the blocks again in the second set as he broke the Bosnian in the first game, taking advantage of some poor hitting and pounding a forehand winner to go up 1-0.

Dzumhur nearly broke straight back, but Federer saved two break points, and then he opened up a 4-1 lead to effectively wrap up the set.

The 23-year-old pulled off some fine drop shots and delayed the inevitable as he broke Federer for 5-3, but the great man was not to be denied.

At 15-40 in the ninth game of the second set, Federer produced an incredible flicked backhand cross-court passing shot at full stretch to take a two-set lead, per Roland Garros:

The momentum was categorically with the 2009 French Open champions, and he was never about to let it go. Dzumhur by no means embarrassed himself against one of the best players of all time, but Federer held his serve with ease while forcing mistakes from his opponent.

Federer really found his groove, and some stunning forehands saw him break for 3-1 up in the third set.

Dzumhur kept his hopes alive as he clung on to his serve, with the sixth game of the third set including a marvel of a volley from the Bosnian.

But Federer picked up a second break in the eighth game to seal a classy and comprehensive straight-sets victory, the Swiss pithily summing up his performance after the match, per BBC Tennis:

Federer has looked ominous as he has breezed through his matches in the opening week in Paris, but things will only get tougher from here as he continues his pursuit of a second French Open title.
