I tried to be as solid as I could, then when I had a chance I tried to hit the ball as hard as I could because I know Tomas is more powerful than me. Had I returned tame balls, he would have destroyed me.Third-seeded Andy Murray overcame early problems with his first serve to beat Jurgen Melzer of Austria 6-3, 6-3, with coach Amelie Mauresmo watching from the stands.Murray, who won this tournament in 2009 and claimed his 30th tour title when he rallied to defeat Ferrer at the Erste Bank Open in Vienna on Sunday, hit 10 aces past Melzer.He will play Fabio Fognini of Italy in the second round.Pablo Carreno Busta, who entered on a wildcard and is 10 years younger than fourth-seeded Feliciano Lopez, took just 65 minutes to defeat his 33-year-old Spanish compatriot 6-4, 6-4.Brazils Tomas Bellucci beat Mikhail Youzhny 7-5, 6-3 and will next face Roberto Bautista Agut of Spain, who defeated Santiago Giraldo 6-4, 6-4.In a late match, Spains Tommy Robredo beat Yen-Hsun Lu of Taiwan 6-2, 6-4.

The Stars have lost five of their past six games, struggling on the defensive end of the ice over that time. Dallas has yielded five goals in each setback, including Tuesdays 5-2 loss to the Winnipeg Jets. Tyler Seguin netted his NHL-leading 22nd goal of the campaign and Antoine Roussel also lit the lamp, but Kari Lehtonen allowed three goals on 17 shots before getting pulled 7:34 into the second period. Jussi Rynnas made 13 saves on 15 shots faced in relief. Dallas is allowing 3.54 goals per game and head coach Lindy Ruff cited poor puck movement on the back end as an issue versus the Jets. I thought thats the worse our defense has struggled as a group, said Ruff. That affects scoring chances, our puck movement, our transition game, and I thought physically (our defense) got dominated down low. Forward Travis Moen suffered an upper-body injury versus the Jets and is out for this game, while defenseman Alex Goligoski did not practice on Wednesday and Thursday as he continues to battle through an injury. Though Goligoski is likely to play tonight, forward Ryan Garbutt will begin a three-game suspension for slew-footing Winnipegs Dustin Byfuglien on Tuesday. Its the latest discipline against the 29-year-old Garbutt, who netted 17 goals last season and has five tallies and 10 points in 23 games this season. Garbutt was suspended five games last season for charging and he received a two-game ban in late November for a knee-to-knee hit versus Edmonton. He also was fined for spearing during the most recent postseason and Ruff offered no defense of Garbuttt on Thursday.dddddddddddd. Its something I dont condone. It hurts the team, Ruff said on Dallas website. He needs to make a huge commitment to how we need him to play. Weve seen him when he brings his game. I said, You are in a situation now where you cant go back down that trail anymore. I know you said you wanted to prove it the last time, but we took a huge step back. The Devils eye a better effort tonight after getting handed a 4-1 setback by the Philadelphia Flyers on Thursday. Martin Havlat notched a goal, but Cory Schneider yielded three tallies on 35 shots as New Jersey was nearly doubled up in the shots department. As a result, the Devils lost for the eighth time in their past 10 games (2-5-3). I think we didnt do a good enough job getting pucks to the net. I thought we had zone time; we got pucks to the point quite a bit, said Devils head coach Peter DeBoer. I thought our (defense) did not do a good enough job getting pucks to the net -- thats why the lack of shots. But I thought we spent enough time in their end to generate some more than we did. New Jersey did see Mike Cammalleri return from a two-game absence caused by a strained gluteus muscle, but Dainius Zubrus missed his second straight due to a leg laceration. Adam Larsson, meanwhile, has missed New Jerseys past five games because of the mumps, while Travis Zajac batted the illness recently while out with a lower-body injury. The Devils had won three straight over the Stars before Dallas picked up a 3-2 shootout victory in New Jersey on Oct. 24. Jamie Benn tallied in regulation and also scored in the shootout along with Jason Spezza, while Lehtonen had 25 saves for the Stars. Schneider finished with 35 stops through overtime. ' ' '
