The second set wasn’t as competitive, Federer easing home and finishing with 35 winners compared to the Serbian’s 18.Elsewhere, number 24 seed Grigor Dimitrov was beaten by world number 77 Jordan Thompson in straight sets ensuring the Australian will meet 2018 Wimbledon finalist Kevin Anderson who beat Portugal’s Joao Sousa 6-4, 7-6 .
