“I was serving well,” said Federer. “You’re not going to get many chances throughout a set, maybe, against me, when I’m serving well. I didn’t think it was that easy of a match. [I] really tried to focus hard and made sure I played sort of a clean match, which I was able to do again today.”

He improved to a 23-8 match record on the season, which includes two ATP World Tour titles at the VTR Open in Vina del Mar (d. Berlocq) and US Men’s Clay Court Championship (d. Isner).

Milos Raonic required just a few minutes and five points to complete his win over Santiago Giraldo of Colombia. In a first-round match, carried over from Tuesday night, Raonic started serving at 5-4 in the third set and soon wrapped up a 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 win.
