Roger Federer has advanced to the fourth round of the Miami Open following a straight sets win over Juan Martin del Potro.

World No. 6 eased past Argentinean tennis player 6-3, 6-4 at Crandon Park in just over 80 minutes on Monday.

Federer improved his career record against del Potro to 16-5. The Swiss maestro closed out the match in style with a forehand winner before acknowledging the roaring crowd.

Federer missed the second half of 2016 with a knee injury. He lost only once this year, to Russian Eeyev-geny Donskoy in early February. Federer next faces Roberto Bautista, who needed three sets to top Sam Querrey of the US.
