Paris, France (Sports Network) - Rafael Nadal won his second-round match Friday at the French Open, but for the second time this week had to rally from a set down to do it. Meanwhile, Roger Federer had no trouble in his third consecutive straight-set win. Nadal, forced to wait an extra day to play his second-round match because of rain on Thursday, dropped the opening set Friday against Slovakias Martin Klizan, then stormed back to claim a 4-6, 6-3, 6-3, 6-3 triumph. The script was similar for Nadal in the first round, as the seven-time French champ also lost the first set against Daniel Brands before winning the next three. "I have played very little tennis in three days, so I started the match with probably not the right intensity with more doubts than usual," said Nadal, who lost only one set in seven matches en route to last years championship. Nadal, trying for a fourth straight title at Roland Garros and eighth in the past nine years, will meet Italys Fabio Fognini in round three. The Spanish superstar is seeded third this year despite a season in which he has reached the final in each of the eight tournaments he has played -- winning six -- since coming back from a seven-month layoff caused by a knee injury. Federer, stunningly, has yet to win a tournament of any kind in 2013. He lost to Nadal in the Rome final earlier this month, but appears to be in fine form on the red clay and finished his stellar first week in Paris with a 6-3, 6-4, 7-5 win over Frenchman Julien Benneteau. The 2009 French champ eased past a pair of qualifiers in the first two rounds and figured to have a test in Benneteau, who beat Federer in the Rotterdam quarterfinals earlier this year. Benneteau broke Federer to start Fridays match, but the 17-time Grand Slam champ returned the favor soon after. The Swiss icon was not broken again and converted each of his four break-point chances in the match, including at love for 6-5 in the third set. He then held at love to finish the match. Another Frenchman could await Federer in the fourth round, as he will take on the winner between Gilles Simon and American Sam Querrey. Fourth-seeded David Ferrer also cruised into the fourth round with a 6-1, 7-5, 6-4 thumping of fellow Spaniard Feliciano Lopez. Hell next meet the winner between Canadian Milos Raonic and South Africas Kevin Anderson. A surprise in the third round saw Serbias Viktor Troicki post a 7-6 (14-12), 6-4, 7-5 win over 10th-seeded Marin Cilic of Croatia. Other second-round winners Friday included American John Isner, Serbias Janko Tipsarevic and Switzerlands Stanislas Wawrinka. The 19th-seeded Isner rallied from two sets down for the first time in his career, capturing a 5-7, 6-7 (7-9), 6-3, 6-1, 8-6 victory over countrymate Ryan Harrison, while the eighth-seeded Tipsarevic also went the distance against Spains Fernando Verdasco, pulling out a 7-6 (7-3), 6-1, 3-6, 5-7, 8-6 triumph. The ninth-seeded Wawrinka was already in the third set of his match against Argentinas Horacio Zeballos when darkness halted play Thursday and needed only a few minutes Friday to complete a 6-2, 7-6 (7-2), 6-4 win. Frenchman Richard Gasquet, Tommy Haas of Germany and Russian veteran Nikolay Davydenko were other second-round winners Friday.
