May 31st 2012, 13:26

Paris, France –  Three-time Grand Slam runner-up Andy Murray, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and David Ferrer were among Thursday's second-round winners at the French Open.

The fourth-seeded Murray, who lost to Rafael Nadal in his first-ever French Open semifinal here a year ago, defeated Jarkko Nieminen 1-6, 6-4, 6-1, 6-2 on Court Philippe Chatrier.

Murray has now reached the third round here for the fifth consecutive year. He will next do battle with Santiago Giraldo, who defeated 25th-seeded Bernard Tomic 6-4, 6-1, 6-3.

Tsonga, the No. 5 seed, completed a 6-2, 4-6, 6-2, 6-1 victory over German Cedrik-Marcel Stebe after their match was suspended because of rain on Wednesday.

The sixth-seeded Ferrer of Spain cruised past Frenchman Benoit Paire 6-3, 6-3, 6-2 to secure a spot in the third round here for the eighth consecutive year.

Nadal, who is in action against Uzbekistan's Denis Istomin, is 46-1 lifetime at Roland Garros, including an Open-Era-record-tying six titles. He's currently the reigning two-time champ, including a victory over his great rival Roger Federer in last year's finale.
