Novak Djokovic's bid for an historic Grand Slam enjoyed the perfect French Open start on Monday as Roger Federer celebrated his 50th straight major with a record-equalling 233rd Grand Slam win.
Djokovic, bidding to become only the third man to hold all four majors at the same time eased past Italian claycourt specialist Potito Starace 7-6 6-3, 6-1.
Federer endured few problems getting past Germany's Tomas Kamke, winning 6-2, 7-5, 6-3.
There was a huge scare for women's world number one Victoria Azarenka, who had to fight from a set and 4-0 down to beat Italian veteran Alberta Brianti 6 7 6 4 6 2 to avoid becoming the first top seed ever to lose in the opening round.
