Federer makes light work of Berdych

Roger Federer put his third-round scare at the Australian Open behind him, cruising past 13th seed Tomas Berdych in straight sets, 6-4 7-6 (9/7) 6-3, to book his place in the quarter-finals in Melbourne.

The Wimbledon champion, who needed four and a half hours to see off Janko Tipsarevic on Saturday, looked much more at ease against the Czech, although he did have a few anxious moments in the second set before wrapping up the win just under two hours.
