Melbourne, Australia (SportsNetwork.com) - Former champions Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal and three-time runner-up Andy Murray were among Mondays opening- round winners at the Australian Open. The second-seeded former world No. 1 Federer handled Taiwans Yen-Hsun Lu 6-4, 6-2, 7-5, while the third-seeded former top-ranked star Nadal whipped Russian Mikhail Youzhny 6-3, 6-2, 6-2 at Melbourne Park. The 17-time Grand Slam king Federer is a four-time Aussie Open winner and was also a runner-up to Nadal in 2009, the year Nadal claimed his lone championship in Melbourne, where the Spaniard, himself, was also a runner-up in 2012 and last year. Federer hasnt titled here since 2010, while Nadal was stunned by Stan Wawrinka in last years Aussie finale. Federers second-round opponent will be Italian Simone Bolelli. A finalist in his last two trips to Melbourne, the 14-time major titlist Nadal played just his second match of 2015 on Monday. He lost in the first round in Doha two weeks ago, coming off a lengthy layoff thanks to a series of physical problems, including a wrist injury. At the end you know that you are not going to be at your 100 percent, so the most important thing when you are coming back is accept all the challenges, the weeks, months, that you didnt have the chance to be able to practice, to compete, said Nadal, who also had surgery late last season to remove his appendix. Just accept every situation. Accept that youre going to be a little slow, a little out of rhythm. Up next for Nadal will be American Tim Smyczek. The sixth-seeded Murray took care of Indias Yuki Bhambri 6-3, 6-4, 7-6 (7-3). The two-time Grand Slam champion Murray reached Aussie finals in 2010, 2011 and 2013. Murrays second-round opponent will be Aussie Marinko Matosevic. No. 7 seed Tomas Berdych beat Colombian Alejandro Falla 6-3, 7-6 (7-1), 6-3, while 10th seed Grigor Dimitrov whipped German Dustin Brown 6-2, 6-3, 6-2 and upstart Aussie Thanasi Kokkinakis upset 11th-seeded Latvian Ernests Gulbis 5-7, 6-0, 1-6, 7-6 (7-2), 8-6. Fourteenth-seeded South African Kevin defeated Argentine Diego Schwartzman 7-6 (7-5), 7-5, 5-7, 6-4, while 15th-seeded Spaniard Tommy Robredo was ahead 3-2 in the first set against Frenchman Edouard Roger-Vasselin before retiring from the match. In some other action involving seeds, No. 20 Belgian David Goffin topped American Michael Russell 6-3, 6-3, 5-7, 6-0; No. 22 German Philipp Kohlschreiber drilled Frenchman Paul-Henri Mathieu 6-2, 6-2, 6-1; No. 23 Croat Ivo Karlovic mauled Belgian Ruben Bemelmans 6-4, 6-2, 6-4; and No. 24 Frenchman Richard Gasquet dismissed Argentine Carlos Berlocq 6-1, 6-3, 6-1. Other seeded victors on opening day were No. 26 Argentine Leonardo Mayer, No. 28 Czech Lukas Rosol, No. 29 Frenchman Jeremy Chardy, and No. 32 Slovak Martin Klizan. Also moving on were former Aussie runner-up Marcos Baghdatis and Aussies Nick Kyrgios, Bernard Tomic, Sam Groth and James Duckworth. On Tuesday, first-round matches will come for world No. 1 Novak Djokovic and the reigning Aussie champ Stan Wawrinka. Djokovic will take on Slovenian Aljaz Bedene, while Wawrinka will meet Turk Marsel Ilhan. The seven-time major titlist Djokovic is the reigning Wimbledon champion who has captured four Aussie Open crowns, while Wawrinka is seeking a second straight title in Melbourne. Also on the Day 2 schedule are fifth-seeded U.S. Open runner-up Kei Nishikori, eighth-seeded Canadian slugger Milos Raonic and ninth-seeded former Roland Garros runner-up David Ferrer.

Tennessee Titans Amani Hooker Jersey . LOUIS -- The St.ASHBURN, Va. -- If Robert Griffin III is "All in for Week 1," whats the status of his backup, Kirk Cousins? "I was trying to get an All in for Week 4 of the Preseason commercial," Cousins said Monday. Actually, Cousins isnt likely to play in the Washington Redskins final preseason game Thursday because of his sprained right foot. He did say theres "no doubt at all" hell be ready for the opener Sept. 9. "I do want to play Thursday, but Id also rather be safe than sorry," Cousins said. "If someone could grant me a wish and tell me I wasnt going to get hurt, or I wasnt going to re-aggravate it, then I would like to get out there." To that end, Cousins was able to poke fun at Griffin, who launched an "All in for Week 1" campaign with a shoe company in his quest to return from major knee surgery. "I could get a T-shirt that says All in for Week 4 of the Preseason. Thats not quite as catchy, and I dont have an endorsement deal with an apparel company," Cousins said. "Maybe someone will sign me now. I dont make enough money to get fined. Maybe Ill get a deal with some off-brand or something that sells at Walmart or something." Griffin was fined $10,000 last week for wearing an "Operation Patience" T-shirt before a preseason game, with the NFL calling it "unauthhorized apparel.dddddddddddd" Also last week, by coincidence, Cousins changed out of a Nebraska T-shirt before addressing reporters in the locker room because Nebraska gear is sponsored by Adidas, while the NFL has a deal with Nike. "Its not worth the risk," Cousins said. Of course, the fact that it was a Nebraska shirt led to more questions, given that Cousins went to Michigan State. It turns out that the shirt was given to him last year by Redskins teammate -- and former Cornhuskers defensive back -- DeJon Gomes after Cousins lost a friendly bet. "I wake up in the morning, usually 6 a.m., and my rooms dark, and I just throw something on," Cousins said. "Im cheap. I just kept it. I like free clothes. ... Adidas made a comfortable shirt. If it didnt say Nebraska, it would be even better." Cousins was limited in practice Monday and said he was still favouring the foot. He said he could play with a painkilling injection, but theres no point in doing that for a preseason game. "At most I think this is a two-week injury," he said. "And I injured it three weeks before the opening day, so Ive got a lot of time to get healthy." Griffin is sitting out the entire preseason and hopes to get clearance from his doctor to play in Week 1. He is not scheduled to speak to reporters this week.
