Roger Federer eases past Mikhail Youzhny in Dubai

Defending champion Roger Federer eased past Mikhail Youzhny 6-3, 6-1 in the first round at the Dubai Tennis Championships on Monday.

Federer was playing his first match since his third-round exit to Andreas Seppi at the Australian Open last month and the 33-year-old needed just 56 minutes to get through to the second round. It also means he remains undefeated in 16 matches against Youzhny.

His 55th-ranked opponent, who has been a finalist in Dubai twice, stayed level with Federer through the first six games of the match. But Federer took control of the match when he broke serve on a fourth break point in the seventh game of the first set when Youzhny hit a backhand long.
