An okay performance by Federer's standards in this match 6-2 7-5 6-3, but in the first round of a grand slam doesn't give anything away of his actual performance. There's been times where Roger has played well up to the quarters and he drops off suddenly - most recently in Melbourne this year where he was the favourite after beating Del Potro in straight sets.
Back to the match, it was a bit messy - 47 unforced errors from Rog in a comfortable three set match is dreadful, but as I said above, early round matches aren't that important and Roger will usually play his best tennis when he needs to. He served pretty well, but he needs to do that against Djokovic and Nadal.
Anyway, Roger will now play Adrian Ungur who upset Nalbandian. I was kind of disappointed, I really was looking forward to their possible encounter after Nalbandian almost beat Nadal in Indian Wells, I thought he would a good test for Roger. Predicting Roger's match - 6-2 6-1 6-3. Check out his awesome forehand winner on match point.
