Still, upset defeats in each of his past two Grand Slam appearances have reminded us that the Swiss legend is human after all.
Let's take a closer look at Federer's keys to victory against Kavcic.
Continue to Dominate on Serve
Federer's serve was sublime in his opening-round win over James Duckworth and will be critical to his chances of avoiding a major upset in Round 2.
Of course, Federer won't need to win 89 percent of his first-serve points again in order to prevail. However, if he can remain solid on his second serve, continuing to win more than 50 percent of those points, he'll be on his way to another win Down Under.
As his convincing first-round victory proved, he doesn't need to be flashy and blast two dozen aces over the course of the match to break his opponent's will. A methodical approach will do for Federer in the second round against Kavcic.
Zero in on Break-Point Opportunities
If there's a frightening trend for Federer to watch out for against Kavcic, it's his inability to convert break-point chances of late.
Federer converted just 4 of 17 break-point opportunities against Duckworth in Round 1 and was only 2 of 16 in his previous major appearance in the fourth round at the 2013 U.S. Open, a straight-sets loss to Tommy Robredo.
While Federer wasn't too worried about his missed opportunities after his first-round match, you can bet he'll be searching for a way to capitalize moving forward, per ATPWorldTour.com:
