Swiss Federer, accorded the honour of opening proceedings on Centre Court in the absence of champion Rafael Nadal through injury, went an early break down against the only Asian player in the men's draw but soon made amends.
Federer, who sported a white military-style jacket for his latest fashion statement when he took to court, broke serve for a second time in the 12th game to take the opening set and won the next two to wrap up victory in an hour and 45 minutes.
The Swiss world number two will face Spain's Guillermo Garcia-Lopez for a place in round three.
