Federer, Wawrinka advance in Toronto

Second seed Federer showed no mercy against Canadian Peter Polansky in a 6-2, 6-0 second-round thrashing which took just 52 minutes. Federer converted on six of seven break points as he played for the first time since his Wimbledon final against Novak Djokovic.

"I was happy, I started well, and that's always helpful to play more freely," said the winner of his 41st match this season. "I could have served better at times, but I felt I was moving well.
