Federer broke once in each of the first two sets to hold off any challenge from the 21 year-old. He took a 6-4 6-4 6-2 victory, a comfortable win for the former champion.
It wa the sixth seed's first competitive match since six-time Grand Slam champion Stefan Edberg joined his coaching team.
"It's great fun to be playing in front of him and it's
been a dream come true for me," Federer said. "I used to watch his
matches and get inspired to play this great game, so to have him in my corner
through the year and this tournament is very special and I can't be thankful
enough."
Federer's next opponent is Blaz Kavcic who he'll play in the second round on Thursday.
