The Swiss star was impressive as he won 6-1 6-4 6-4 in one hour and 29 minutes.

"I'm very happy with the way I played," Federer said afterwards. "It's always tough playing in the night sessions, especially in the early rounds. But I think I hit the ball well and tried to play aggressive."

He added: "I'm happy with the way I fought against someone who was very competitive. I had to fight for some rhythm but I'm happy with the way it turned out."

Federer raced to the first set in 23 minutes leaning heavily towards serve and volley tactics to shake up the South American claycourt specialist.

What Capdeville lacked in technique he made up for with heart and the Chilean actually broke Federer's serve to go 3-1 up in second set, only for the world number one to punish the upstart by winning the next four games in a row on his way to a 2-0 lead.

Capdeville continued to fight but even though Federer relaxed a little as the night wore on, the Chilean could not find a way back in and the Federer now faces American wild card John Isner in the third round.

The 22-year-old, 6ft 9ins Isner upset number 26 Jarkko Nieminen in his Grand Slam debut Monday and he beat South African qualifier Rik De Voest in a late-finishing match on Armstrong, winning 6-3 6-3 7-6 (7-4).
