Roger Federer
Sixth seed Juan Martin Del Potro took just under 70 minutes to beat Australian Alex de Minaur 6-2 6-1 and Australian Open runner-up Marin Cilic is also through after a 7-5 6-3 straight sets win over Marton Fucsovics.
The Swiss legend has begun the 2018 season in fine fashion with a ideal 13-0 record. He lost to No. 109 Taro Daniel of Japan 7-6 (3), 4-6, 6-1.
Despite the myriad achievements in his career, one moment stands out for Federer as the best match he's ever played.
"When you go from night to day [in consecutive days, you're usually] playing a different opponent", said Federer, who couldn't remember the last time he had played a match that was interrupted overnight.
"I was grateful to be out on the court after surgery that quickly but, at the same time, just didn't feel good at all".
Federer will face 25th-seed Filip Krajinovic in the third round.
Federer was at his trademark best, fluid and graceful as the Swiss star broke in the fourth game for a 3-1 lead and never looked back.

Meanwhile, he has hinted he will make a decision soon on whether he will play on clay this season.
"Not really", Federer said during his opening news conference here Thursday. "Very weird. I mean, I just completely lost rhythm", Djokovic said after the Daniel upset. Djokovic who had been out of action for nearly two months after his defeat against Korean Chung at the Australian Open had taken the second half of 2017 off to heal from an elbow injury. Afterward, Federer spoke of how differently the courts played between Saturday's night session and Sunday's quicker conditions during a hot afternoon.
Daniel had two break points to level it at 5-5 but, this time, Djokovic did come through - despite wasting his first set point with a horribly shanked drive volley.
Novak Djokovic struggled during his second-round match against Taro Daniel. Sixth seed and Acapulco champion Juan Martin del Potro ran away a 6-2, 6-1 victor over the 19-year-old Alex de Minaur of Australia.
Top American Jack Sock has reached the third round.
Sousa eventually prevailed 7-5 5-7 6-4 to set up a third round match against Milos Raonic. Ninth seed Lucas Pouille was beaten by Indian qualifier Yuki Bhambri.
In other men's matches, David Ferrer of Spain defeated Tennys Sandgren of the United States 6-2, 7-6. 10th seed and Australian Open semi-finalist Angelique Kerber fought back rain and a set loss to register a 3-6, 6-4, 6-2 win over Ekaterina Makarova.
