Melbourne, Australia (Sports Network) - Former champions Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer highlighted Mondays first-round winners at the first Grand Slam event of the year -- the Australian Open. The second-seeded Nadal cruised past Ukrainian-born American qualifier Alex Kuznetsov 6-4, 6-1, 6-1 in 1 hour, 46 minutes, while a third-seeded Federer leveled Russian qualifier Alexander Kudryatsev 7-5, 6-2, 6-2 in 1 hour, 38 minutes for his 60th match win at Melbourne Park. Nadal played with his right knee heavily taped on Monday. "I was sitting on a chair in the hotel, I felt like a crack on the knee -- really strange," Nadal said. "I stand up. I felt the knee a little bit strange. I moved the leg like this two times to try to find the feeling. After the second time, the knee stays with an unbelievable pain completely straight. I have no movement on the knee." "I wasnt 100 percent sure I would have a chance to play," Nadal added. Nadal played Monday after an MRI exam showed no major damage in the knee. "I started with a little bit of a scare at the beginning, and nervous because I was really disappointed yesterday," the Spaniard said. "But after the first 10 games -- I started to play with normal conditions. "The best thing is I felt the knee very well. I really dont understand why happened everything, but I am really happy that today I was ready to play and I played a fantastic match." A healthy Federer also played some fine tennis on Monday. "No problem, I am happy to be 100 percent fit," Federer said. Both situated in the bottom half of the draw, Nadal and Federer could only meet in the semifinals next week. The 10-time major champion Nadal beat Federer in the 2009 Aussie finale, while Federer has won four Aussie crowns among his record 16 major titles. The 30-year-old Federer is trying to become only the second man in the Open era (since 1968) to capture five Aussie titles. Nadals second-round opponent on Wednesday will be oft-inured former world No. 2 Tommy Haas, while Federer will encounter German Andreas Beck. Seventh-seeded Czech Tomas Berdych and No. 8 American Mardy Fish were also among the Day-1 winners on Monday. Berdych posted a 7-5, 4-6, 6-2, 6-3 decision over Spains Albert Ramos, popping seven aces and breaking Ramos serve five times to move on, while Fish rolled to a 6-4, 6-4, 6-2 straight-set victory over Luxembourgs Gilles Muller. Muller reeled off nine aces in the match, but also committed 39 unforced errors and failed to break the Americans serve. Fish will face Colombian Alejandro Falla in the round of 64. Tenth-seeded Spaniard Nicolas Almagro overcame a first-set defeat to record a 1-6, 7-5, 6-3, 7-5 victory over Polands Lukasz Kubot, while 11th-seeded Argentine slugger Juan Martin del Potro also battled back from an early setback to move on, posting a 2-6, 6-1, 7-5, 6-4 decision over Frances Adrian Mannarino. Ukrainian Alexandr Dolgopolov, the 13th seed, downed Aussie Greg Jones 1-6, 4-6, 6-1, 6-1, 6-2. Up next for the former U.S. Open champion del Potro will be Slovenian Blaz Kavcic. Towering American John Isner, seeded 16th here, handled Aussie Benjamin Mitchell 6-4, 6-4, 7-6 (7-1); 18th-seeded Spaniard Feliciano Lopez Leonardo Mayer of Argentina 7-6 (7-5), 6-3, 7-6 (7-2); 21st-seeded Swiss Stanislas Wawrinka waltzed past Frances Benoit Paire 6-1, 6-1, 7-5; and rising Aussie youngster Bernard Tomic fought back to dismiss struggling 22nd- seeded Spaniard Fernando Verdasco 4-6, 6-7 (3-7), 6-4, 6-2, 7-5. German Philipp Kohlschreiber took out 25th-seeded Argentine Juan Monaco 7-5, 4-6, 6-3, 6-7 (4-7), 6-0; Slovak Lukas Lacko knocked out 28th-seeded Croat Ivan Ljubicic 3-6, 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, 6-4; Kevin Anderson of South Africa, the 30th seed, roll past Denmarks Frederik Nielsen 6-1, 6-2, 6-4; and Austrias Jurgen Melzer, the 31st seed, was driven out of the tournament by 6-foot-10 Croat Ivo Karlovic 7-6 (7-3), 7-5, 6-3. Meanwhile, American Sam Querrey, on the mend from an elbow injury, swatted South African Kenny De Schepper 6-3, 6-2, 6-2, former Wimbledon runner-up David Nalbandian of Argentina was leading Jarkko Nieminen 6-4, 4-2 when the Finnish veteran retired, and former Aussie Open runner-up Marcos Baghdatis downed German Benjamin Becker 6-1, 7-6 (7-5), 6-2. Baghdatis reached the final here back in 2006. Nalbandian will clash with the 6-foot-9 Isner on Wednesday, while Querrey will battle the rising Tomic. Italys Flavio Cipolla outlasted former top-five Russian star Nikolay Davydenko 6-4, 4-6, 3-6, 6-2, 6-1, the aforementioned Haas got past American Denis Kudla 7-6 (7-5), 3-6, 6-0, 7-5, and American Donald Young earned a 6-1, 6-2, 4-6, 1-6, 6-2 victory over German Peter Gojowczyk.

"I cant say much, we agreed not to say much, but talks are ongoing and Andrei wants to stay in Montreal," agent and former NHL player Sergei Berezin told TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun on ESPN.com on Friday.

The Desert Foxes took part in the 2010 World Cup and failed to advance past the group stage, and the African side figures to have a tough time reaching the last 16 this time around as well. Belgiums last appearance on the big stage was the 2002 tournament when the team reached the second round before bowing out to eventual champions Brazil. Cheap NFL Jerseys . Wrights first stint with Milwaukee was on a 10-day contract from March 14-23. He played in two games, averaging six points and two rebounds in 16.At least Carl Robinson can still smile. Just a month into his time as Vancouver Whitecaps head coach, the former Wales international has had more than his fair share of issues to deal with, but throughout a period he describes as "crazy," he has showcased the level-headed and honest approach he promised when he was appointed. Days after being handed the job, Robinson had to deal with his star striker Camilo walking out on the club in dramatic and unparalleled fashion. That eventually led to an in-person meeting with the Whitecaps leading scorer in Mexico and the resultant departure of the Brazilian. Then hours after his first MLS SuperDraft, Robinsons next task was to address the fact that one of his top ten picks is under contract with another club. "Thrown in at the deep end I think is a fair thing to say," said Robinson. "Its not troublesome. Its a learning curve. Its my first job, but all the preparation I have done over the last seven years to get my qualifications has stood me in good stead for this. I didnt realize it would come this early but Ive dealt with it professionally and honestly. Im sure Ill be a better person from it and a better head coach moving forward." Theres been plenty of finger pointing throughout the Camilo saga. Was he led astray by his agent? Could the club have done more? Should MLS have taken the case to FIFA? The fact is the Brazilian just didnt want to be in Vancouver. There was no loyalty. His past talk about loving the city, the club and the fans was proven to be nonsense. If he had any interest in playing for the Caps, Camilo would likely have been sitting down with the club this week to negotiate another new contract – his second renegotiation in three years – ahead of joining the team for preseason. Instead, he chose to pull on another teams jersey and force his way out of Vancouver. "I spoke to him 24 hours after getting the job, but I do believe by then his mind had been made up," said Robinson about a situatiion he has never previously encountered in 25 years of professional football.dddddddddddd "It got into a messy situation but we needed to work out a solution. Its a significant amount of money and it will help us rebuild this club over the next year. Im looking at good players and good players cost money." The problem is, Camilos actions actually worked. He got what he wanted, and now a dangerous precedent has been set within Major League Soccer for any other players wanting to do a Camilo. Theres little doubt it will happen, unless the situation is quickly addressed by MLS headquarters. The leagues relative silence through the whole issue was disappointing. Transparency, or lack of it, has been a key theme in recent times in MLS. Commissioner Don Garber talks of the need to improve the situation, but both the Camilo saga and the handling of the Andre Lewis situation has shown there is still much work to be done. As for the Whitecaps, they will open preseason training camp with many holes still to fill in their squad. Following Camilos departure they should now have the resources available to ensure they have the players in place in plenty of time ahead of the season opener against New York Red Bulls on March 8 (live on TSN). "Over the last few weeks weve had a lot to deal with, but weve been working hard in the background," said Robinson. "Ive identified new players and hopefully over the next few days and weeks there will be a lot of players coming in. "Weve got some fantastic young players in place as well as the senior players already here so there is a very strong nucleus at the club. Were excited for the season ahead and the pieces we can bring in. There will be a number of signings coming in." The re-signing of Captain Jay DeMerit was the first piece of positive news to come out of the Caps camp in 2014, but there needs to be much more to follow to ensure Robinson is given the tools he needs to succeed in his rookie year as a head coach. cheap nfl jerseys cheap jerseys ' ' ' |
