Federer, who is looking for his fifth title at the tournament, broke the Czech qualifier twice in the first set, and despite losing a service game of his own, comfortably took the opener.

"We’re going to continue to improve on what we're doing. I'm happy that collectively we improved our game and we have been able to do things better."
