The Swiss player's dominance continued as his power from the baseline could not be matched by the error-prone Berdych. He broke again in the fourth game before claiming the opening set 6-1 in just 25 minutes.
Wawrinka was barely troubled in the second as he broke twice more to open up a commanding 4-1 lead. The 29-year-old then closed out the one-sided encounter 6-1 6-1 with an hour played.
The other two players in Group A, top seed Novak Djokovic and US Open champion Marin Cilic, meet later this evening at the O2 Arena.
