He made short shrift of Herbert, who will partner Britain's former world number one Andy Murray in the doubles, dominating his opponent from the outset with his formidable serve and volley game.
Anderson will play either Serbian Janko Tipsarevic or Japan's Yoshihito Nishioka for a place in the last 32.
