Veteran Tommy Haas books his place in round two of the French Open at the expense of Guillaume Rufin.

Germany's Tommy Haas continued his recent positive form at the French Open this afternoon by recording a 7-6 6-1 6-3 victory over Guillaume Rufin.

There was very little to separate the two players during the opening set in Paris and as a result a tie-breaker was required to determine a victor. Haas gained control of that early on and eventually won through 7-4.

That handed the 35-year-old the initiative and he dropped just four more games on his way to defeating his French opponent.

He will now take on either Jack Sock or Guillermo Garcia-Lopez for a place in round three of the competition.
