Paris, May 29: Maria Sharapova got off to a quick start at the French Open, winning her first-round match 6-0, 6-0 in 48 minutes.

The Russian is trying to complete a career Grand Slam by winning the championship at Roland Garros. She has won three major titles but never been to a final at the French Open.
