Rafael Nadal made up for lost time at the French Open on Friday with a 6-2 6-2 6-3 defeat of Argentina's Horacio Zeballos to reach the third round a day later than scheduled.The Spaniard, bidding to regain the title he won four years in succession before his run was snapped 12 months ago, cut a dashing figure in a lime green and blue shirt on the sun-kissed red clay and his play also dazzled for the most part.Left-handed Zeballos, playing singles here for the first time this year, had no answer to Nadal's superior power and succumbed in one hour 45 minutes on Court Philippe Chatrier.Nadal's only blemish was losing his serve at 4-2 in the third set but he quickly broke back to book a third-round match against either Lleyton Hewitt or Denis Istomin.(Editing by Miles Evans.
