Title favourite Roger Federer has swept into the Australian Open third round with another straight sets victory.
The world No.2 and reigning champion was untroubled in the Melbourne heat on Rod Laver Arena, coasting to a 6-4 6-4 7-6 (7-4) victory over unheralded German Jan-Lennard Struff.
Gunning for his sixth Open crown and 20th major Federer will now take on French veteran Richard Gasquet.
