Roger Federer usually has a calm and serene way about him. But in pictures from his second round match against France's Thierry Ascione at the French Open on Wednesday, he looked focused and fierce. Federer wants this title badly and, I think, for the first time really believes he can win it. He won the match 6-1, 6-2, 7-6. Other males seeds who won second round matches were Nikolay Davydenko (4), Mikhail Youzkney (13), Juan Carlos Ferrero (17) while second round losers included Marat Saifn (22) and Richard Gasquet (11). On the women's side, top-seed and three-time chap Justine Henin won in straight sets and charged into the third round along with Jelena Jankovic, Nicole Vaidisova, Dinara Safinia (Marat's sister), Elena Dementievca, Na Li and 2002 runner-up Venus Williams. One noteable loss was the 6-1, 6-0 thrashing 6Meghann Shaughnessy gave to 2004 French Open champ Anastasia Myskina who conitnues to slide from the elite to early-round loser.
