Melbourne (ANTARA News/Reuters) - Roger Federer survived a scare against big-serving Igor Andreev in the first round of the Australian Open on Tuesday, coming back from a set down to beat the Russian 4-6, 6-2, 7-6, 6-0.

The Swiss world number one, bidding for his fourth title at Melbourne Park, saved three set points to close out the third set and break Andreev`s spirit, before breezing through the fourth in 28 minutes.

Federer, who has never been eliminated in the first round in 11 appearances at Melbourne Park, next plays the winner of the match between Chile`s Juan Ignacio Chela and Romania`s Victor Hanescu.
