Federer struggles in 2nd round at French Open
Close doesn't count. Roger Federer knows that as well as anyone. Still, even Federer had to acknowledge he found himself in a much tighter and tougher match than he would have expected - or is used to - in the French Open's second round Thursday before producing a 7-6 , 5-7, 7-6 , 6-2 victory over Jose Acasuso of Argentina.
