Nadal strolls to victory in Paris

World number two Rafael Nadal eased into round three of the Paris Masters with victory over Filippo Volandri despite an uneven display.

The pair swapped breaks early on, but Nadal dominated after that with Volandri determined to take the Spaniard on from the back of the court.

Nadal, in the opposite half of the draw from Britain's Andy Murray, broke five times in sealing a 6-3 6-1 victory.

Elsewhere, reigning champion Nikolay Davydenko beat Juan del Potro 7-6 6-1.

The Russian number four seed recovered from a slow start to put Argentine Del Potro under severe pressure and eventually raced through the match to set up a third-round match against Ivan Ljubicic or Marcos Baghdatis.

It was Davydenko's first match since being fined $2,000 (�976) for not trying hard enough during his defeat by Marin Cilic at the St Petersburg Open.

Nadal will meet Stanislas Wawrinka after the Swiss beat Argentine Juan Ignacio Chela 6-3 6-1.
