Federer breezes to second-round win

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Oct. 21 (UPI) -- World No. 2 Roger Federer was on the court less than an hour Thursday in collecting a second-round decision at the Stockholm Open tennis tournament in Sweden.

Federer needed just 51 minutes to get by Taylor Dent 6-1, 6-2. Federer claimed four breaks in seven Dent service games and saved both break points he faced.

He moved into a quarterfinal match against fifth-seeded Stanislas Wawrinka.

Second-seeded Robin Soderling didn't face a break point in a 6-3, 6-3 run over Benjamin Becker. Soderling lost eight points in his nine service games.

No. 4-seeded Ivan Ljubicic fired 12 aces en route to a 6-3, 6-4 win over Arnaud Clement. Like Soderling, Ljubicic didn't face a break-point situation.

Ivan Dodig routed Tobias Kamke 6-1, 6-1, winning all five of the break points he forced on Kamke.

James Blake, in the only match not decided in straight sets, topped Matthias Bachinger 6-4, 3-6, 7-6 (7-2).

Blake will meet Jarkko Nieminen in the quarterfinals Friday while Soderling draws Florian Mayer and Ljubicic goes against Dodig.
