PARIS—Rafa Nadal produced an imperious show on Wednesday to secure his 300th Grand Slam match victory, dismantling local hope Corentin Moutet 6–3 6–1 6–4 to book his spot in the French Open third round.

Nadal counts 13 Roland Garros titles among his overall 21 majors—the highest among men—and despite his injury-blighted buildup to the claycourt tournament he has looked at his usual best in the first two rounds.
