Sometimes, when you're Roger Federer, the countless hours you put on the court to combat the rapid aging process is necessary. Other times, you're just plain better.   

The latter was the case Tuesday, as Federer scored a dominant 6-1, 6-2 victory over Richard Gasquet in their fourth-round match at the 2014 Sony Open.

Federer, 32, overpowered the Frenchman with his serve, nailing six aces and winning 88 percent of his first-serve points. To contrast, Gasquet looked flustered from the outset amid the beating-down Miami sun, hitting a series of unforced errors and striking multiple double-faults.
