The seven-time champion broke Lorenzi at the first time of asking before clinching the opening set 6-1 on No. 1 Court.

It was the same scoreline in set two before Lorenzi displayed better fighting qualities in the third, still going down 6-1 6-1 6-3 to exit the tournament.

Federer, seeded fourth at this year's Championships, next faces either Giles Muller or Julien Benneteau.
