After the first rain delay of the tournament, Federer overwhelmed the 53rd-ranked Frenchman 6-3, 6-3, 6-1 on Centre Court for his 62nd consecutive win on grass and 37th straight at the All England Club.
His next opponent will be Lleyton Hewitt, who won Wimbledon in 2002 _ the year before the Swiss star won the first of his five straight titles.
Fifth-seeded David Ferrer was ousted by Croatia's Mario Ancic 6-4, 6-4, 6-7 (5), 7-6 (3) in a match that ended on Centre Court in near darkness around 9:15 p.m. Ancic is the last player to have defeated Federer at Wimbledon _ he did it as a qualifier in the first round in 2002.
Ferrer's exit means six of the top 10 seeded players in the men's draw have gone out so far in the first three rounds.
In a match which ended even later on Court 1, Safin pulled out a 7-6 (5), 3-6, 7-6 (3), 6-4 victory over Andreas Seppi.
