The Swiss has begun the year with successive defeats to world number four Andy Murray in Abu Dhabi and Dubai , but made no mistake against former French Open champion Moya . He needed just 57 minutes to progress at the former home of the Australian Open . `` I was a little rusty in the beginning , missed quite a few forehands , but I thought it was a good match overall , '' he told the Press Association . `` There were a few gusts of wind , which makes it not easy to play , but I felt like I was playing OK . '' Earlier , Federer 's compatriot Stanislas Wawrinka also had an easy win over Cypriot Marcos Baghdatis 6-2 6-2 . Federer 's next opponent will be Spanish Davis Cup hero Fernando Verdasco , who swept past young Croatian star Marin Cilic 6-2 7-5 .
