MELBOURNE, Australia -- With the sun setting at the end of a torridly hot day at the Australian Open, Roger Federer ensured he made the most of a favourable evening draw. Wearing bright pink shoelaces, Federer advanced to the third round with a 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 win over Russian Nikolay Davydenko on Thursday. The 17-Grand Slam champion was a winner of sorts before he even stepped out at Rod Laver Arena, having received the luck of the draw -- a 7 p.m. start time after the worst of the 41-degree Celsius (106 Fahrenheit) heat had subsided. "Im very happy to have played so well against him," Federer said of his 18th win over Davydenko in their 20 matches. Other championship contenders in the mens draw including Andy Murray had to withstand the high temperatures which arent unusual for this time of year in Melbourne, but still not conducive to long matches. U.S. Open champion Murray won routinely, beating Joao Sousa of Portugal 6-2, 6-2, 6-4 on Hisense Arena, the second show court at Melbourne Park. "You need to be the one thats trying to dictate the points in these conditions," said Murray, who practices in Florida. "Miami is the perfect preparation. Its hot and humid there, although it certainly doesnt get up to 37 degrees (Celsius; 99 Fahrenheit). It was a good match to get done in straight sets. " Murray, who ended a 76-year drought by British men in Grand Slam tournaments with his win at Flushing Meadows last year, didnt allow Sousa a single break-point chance. "When the sun came out, it was extremely hot. When it wasnt, it was fine. There was no humidity," he said, playing down the impact of the hot conditions. "When you get the combination of the heat and the humidity is when its normally at its worst. Ive played in worse conditions." Among the other men advancing were sixth-seeded Juan Martin del Potro, who beat Benjamin Becker 6-2, 6-4, 6-2, and 2008 Australian finalist Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, who pretended to do pushups to disguise a fall during his 6-3, 7-6 (1), 6-3 win over Japans Go Soeda. Australias Bernard Tomic went through to the third round along with No. 9 Richard Gasquet, No. 13 Milos Raonic of Canada, No. 17 Philipp Kohlschreiber of Germany, No. 21 Andreas Seppi of Italy and Lithuanian qualifier Ricardas Berankis, who beat No. 25 Florian Mayer 6-2, 6-3, 6-1. Tomic beat Novak Djokovic at the Hopman Cup and won last weeks Sydney International, his first ATP tournament victory. He has won 10 matches in a row and has held 76 consecutive service games through that stretch. Hell face Federer in the third round on Sunday, a rematch of their fourth-round match last year. "Well know each other a bit better this time around," said Federer, who had two lopsided wins over Tomic in 2012. Gael Monfils improbably advanced to the third round with a five-set win over Taiwans Lu Yen-hsun despite the Frenchman having 23 double faults, including three on match point. Fortunately, Monfils also had 29 aces in the 7-6 (5), 4-6, 0-6, 6-1, 8-6 win. Cheap nfl Jerseys .

CALGARY -- Justyn and Ian Warner grew up chasing each other up and down the cul-de-sac in front of their Toronto home. The brothers chased each other to the finish line on Friday in a race they hope will take both of them to the London Olympics. Older brother Justyn captured gold in the 100 metres to cement his spot on Canadas Olympic team at the track and field trials at Foothills Athletics Park, while Ian claimed silver to make a strong argument for his inclusion on the squad as well. The 25-year-old Justyn raced to a career-best 10.15 seconds, dipping under the Olympic A standard of 10.18, while Ian crossed in a personal best 10.20. "Warner Bros. Production, thats what they call us. Too bad its copywrited," Justyn said laughing. "But thats what we do, thats we have fun with. "It couldnt be better, it couldnt come at a better time for the two of us to be going to London. I just cant wait." The 22-year-old Ian is a strong candidate for Canadas 4x100-metre relay team. Canadas track and field squad will be announced Sunday morning. "It was just a giant blur, all I remember was getting to the line, I could see my brother and no-one else was in front of me," Ian said. "I was happy the two Warners got one and two, thats obviously a dream come true to be able to go to the Olympics with my brother. "Words cant even express how cool that is, to be able to say youre going to your first Olympics with your brother." Oluseyi Smith of Ottawa won the bronze with 10.22. Earlier in the day, Phylicia George of Markham, Ont., won the womens 100 in 11.30, clinching her spot on the Canadian team. George could also make the squad in the 100-metre hurdles, which is slated for Saturday afternoon. Hilary Stellingwerff of Sarnia, Ont., and Nicole Sifuentes of Winnipeg secured their London spots in the womens 1,500 metres, while Nate Brannen cemented his spot in the mens 1,500. Liz Gleadle clinched her berth in the womens javelin. The Warners grew up focused mainly on football -- both were running backs. Justyn was recruited to Texas Christian University for football but quickly switched to trackk.dddddddddddd Ian eventually switched to track as well, and runs for Iowa State University. "My little bro, I know hes coming for me," Justyn said laughing. "He feeds off of me and I feed off of him, and he looks up to me and I look up to him, were close brothers. Hes got a lot of talent, he hasnt beaten me yet but I know hes gunning for me, and one day it will come. "Ill be happy for him, Im happy for him every race he runs." Ian couldnt have envisioned a day, he said, until this season when he would be racing right on his older brothers heels -- "hes always been so much faster than me." Friday he was perfectly fine to take second place. "Because theres nobody I would rather lose to than my brother, Im completely happy with the way everything went down," he said. "Im gonna get him one day. But its not today, and Im fine with that. One day. Not this day." If he is named to the relay squad for London, Ian hopes he and Justyn can be roommates in the athletes village. "Definitely. Hes the person I trust the most. Its the coolest thing," Ian said. Mom Debbie Warner squeezed into the jam-packed grandstand at Foothills Athletics Park to watch her boys run -- Ian was in Lane 3, Justyn in 6. "This is the first time Ive ever watched the two of them race each other when I actually saw them both. Usually I focus on one or the other and the race finishes and I think, what happened with the other one," Debbie said. "I dont get nervous until theyre in the blocks. "And I knew they could do it, I just knew." Justyn will be the one on edge Saturday when his fiance Nikkita Holder attempts to claim a spot on the Olympic squad in the 100-metre hurdles. But it wont be easy in a jam-packed field in which six women have the qualifying standard, including Olympic bronze medallist Priscilla Lopes-Schliep. "Im more nervous for that race than I was for my own. Ill be out here nervous as heck, shaking," Justyn said. "We dont talk about it, we just kind of leave it, dont even mention it, and when the time comes, it comes." ' ' '
