PARIS (Reuters) - Former runner-up Samantha Stosur raced into the third round of the French Open with a 6-0 6-1 victory over France's Amandine Hesse on Wednesday.

The 26th-seeded Australian, who reached the Roland Garros final in 2010 and the last four on two other occasions, had way too much power and pace for the 22-year-old wild card.

Hesse, the world number 272, was heading for a 'double bagel' at 6-0 5-0 but a crosscourt volley saved her from utter humiliation on Court Suzanne Lenglen.
