Monitoring Desk

Melbourne: Roger Federer enjoyed the kinder conditions of the night session as he beat Germany’s Jan-Lennard Struff at the Australian Open.

After the temperature earlier neared 40C, second seed Federer saw off Struff 6-4 6-4 7-6 (7-4) in closer to 30C. The five-time champion goes on to face French 29th seed Richard Gasquet in the third round. Federer’s fellow Swiss Stan Wawrinka was beaten in his second match since returning from knee surgery. The 2014 champion, seeded ninth, only decided to play in Melbourne on the eve of the tournament and was well below his best as he lost 6-2 6-1 6-4 to Tennys Sandgren of the USA. “I think the last 12 days was more than what I could have dreamed coming here,” Wawrinka said. “I really came without thinking I will be able to play the first match.
