French Open Live Stream: Watch Free Online as Roger Federer and Serena Williams Play Their Second Round Matches

Roger Federer and Serena Williams will take center-stage when day four of the French Open takes court Wednesday.

Both Federer and Williams had easy first round matches, and the two veterans will be keen to continue the momentum.

Federer defeated the unheralded Pablo Carreno-Busta in straight sets in the first round and said he felt really good after coming through the opening challenge in the Grand Slam unscathed.

"He's played a lot of matches on clay in comparison with me," Federer said of his first round opponent after the match. "I knew it could be tricky if I don't sustain a certain level of play, certain aggressiveness.

"I did not want to get caught up in long rallies, which is probably what he was looking for. So overall I thought I did pretty well - on the serve, on the return, movement wise as well and clearly I'm very pleased.

Federer is set to play India's Somdev Devvarman in the second round, with the match scheduled fourth at Suzanne Lenglen.

Williams, who is scheduled to play in the final match at Philippe Chatrier, will be up against French teenager Caroline Garcia, who is sure to receive a lot of support from the local crowd.

The American, though, has been on a tear this season, and looks near unbeatable, even on the red clay, a surface which Williams does not favor too much.

Garcia, who gave Maria Sharapova a scare at Roland Garros a couple of years ago, however, believes she has a chance against Williams. "I have grown up," the world number 114 said. "Yet it is going to be a difficult match and, you know, Serena has so much experience.

"She knows how to manage grand slams. She will be the favourite, and really the favourite, but I've got to play my match. And I believe in it. I'll believe in it until the very end."
