Tennis great Roger Federer defeated unseeded Serbian Filip Krajinovic 6-2 4-6 6-4 on Tuesday to reach the last-16 at the Swiss Indoors in Basel.

But Federer struggled to control the match as he racked up 38 unforced errors.

He, however, managed to do enough to progress.

Next up for him is Germany’s Jan-Lennard Struff, who defeated Australian John Millman 7-6(3) 6-2.
