Roger Federer began his Gerry Webber Open campaing with a 6-4, 7-6 (7/3) victory over Germany's world number 88 Jan-Lennard Struff. 
The Swiss legend will face Tunisia's Malek Jaziri, ranked 64, for a place in the last eight, as he steps up his bid for another tilt at the Wimbledon title. 
The 34-year-old has won 52 matches in his Halle career, has yet to win a title in 2016, his longest drought to start a year since he went title-less in 2000.
