The 30-year-old Federer is now two match wins away from 850 victories (848-192). He hit 35 winners and 13 aces past Fognini in the pair’s second meeting. The Swiss also won 21 of 23 points at the net.
“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.”
Argentina’s Juan Monaco, the No. 15 seed, reached the third round for the first time after he beat Jeremy Chardy of France 6-2, 3-6, 6-3, 7-6(3) in two hours and 33 minutes. 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 Championships (d. Isner).
Milos Raonic required just 80 seconds 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.
