Roger Federer admits that he is pleased with his display to beat Pablo Carreno-Busta in round one of the French Open.

Roger Federer has revealed that he is pleased with his performance to beat Pablo Carreno-Busta in the first round of the French Open.

The Swiss world number three, who won the tournament in 2009, saw off the Spanish qualifier 6-2 6-2 6-3 at Roland Garros on Sunday.

"I thought it was a good match for me," Federer told reporters. "He's played many matches and won a lot this year. That really helps your confidence. And he's played a lot of matches on clay, in comparison with me.

"Overall, I thought I did well on the serve, on the return [and] movement wise, as well. So clearly I'm very pleased."

Federer's next opponent in Paris is Indian world number 188 Somdev Devvarman.
