The 36-year-old Swiss, who reclaimed the number one ranking by
winning the Stuttgart title last week, broke his 72nd ranked opponent in the
second game and maintained the advantage to claim the first set.
Federer dropped just eight points on his serve and was hardly
troubled in a one-sided contest as he converted a decisive break point in the
ninth game of the second set to march to victory.
Chasing a record-extending 10th title in Halle, Federer will
next look to improve his 6-0 head-to-head advantage over Frenchman Benoit
Paire, who beat American Steve Johnson 7-5 7-6(5).
World number three Zverev began his grasscourt campaign with a
disappointing 6-1 6-4 defeat by Croatian Borna Coric.
The German dropped his serve four times in an erratic display as
Coric clinched his 20th match win of the season.
