"Not much trouble on my serve, and from the baseline I also thought I had the upper hand. When it's like that, obviously it's tough for the opponent, but I just think I was superior today," said Federer.
Federer unleashed 31 winners to Sela's 10 in his 77-minute victory, allowing his opponent just eight points on serve.
Triple women's champion Serena Williams disposed of Dutch qualifier Michaella Krajicek 6-0 6-1. Williams has lost just three games in her two matches and now tackles Belarusian fourth seed Victoria Azarenka who defeated Argentina's Gisela Dulko 6-4 6-3.
Williams boasts a 5-1 career record over Azarenka, including all four of their Grand Slam meetings.
The American, who is seeded 28 after spending most of the last year fighting injury as well as life-threatening blood clots on her lungs, saw off Krajicek with a 10th ace, having unleashed 25 winners.
Williams insisted that she had not been distracted by seeing sister Venus withdraw from the tournament 24 hours earlier after being diagnosed with an auto-immune disorder.
"It really wasn't that difficult, to be honest. She wants me to do the best; she wouldn't want me to suffer. So now, if anything, it should motivate me more," said Williams.
Wozniacki brushed aside Dutchwoman Arantxa Rus 6-2 6-0 and next tackles Vania King of the United States.
Meanwhile, the number of walkovers and injury-enforced retirements at the tournament climbed to 13. Czech 23rd seed Radek Stepanek called it quits in the third set against Juan Monaco of Argentina with a shoulder injury.
