NEW YORK, Sept. 1 (UPI) — Former runner-up Novak Djokovic beat former world No. 3 Ivan Ljubicic 6-3, 6-1, 6-3 Tuesday in the first-round of the U.S. Open tennis.

The fourth-seeded Djokovic, the 2008 Australian Open champion, was the 2007 U.S. Open runner-up to Roger Federer.

Former Australian Open runner-up Jo-Wilfried Tsonga advanced to the second round with a 6-0, 6-2, 6-1 victory over 18-year-old American Chase Buchanan.

Spaniard Fernando Verdasco beat German Benjamin Becker 7-5, 6-4, 7-5; Czech Tomas Berdych beat American Wayne Odesnik 7-5, 6-4, 6-4; and Serb Viktor Troicki defeated Australian Peter Luczak 6-3, 6-3, 1-6, 2-6, 6-1.

In a Day 2 upset, 26-year-old Jesse Witten beat Russian Igor Andreev 6-4, 6-0, 6-2.

The first round will conclude Wednesday, including matches for third-seeded Spaniard Rafael Nadal, sixth-seeded Juan Martin del Potro of Argentina and former world No. 1 Marat Safin of Russia. Nadal is the reigning Australian Open champion and owns six major titles. Safin won the U.S. Open in 2000.

Your play is aggressive, dominating and controlled, and like Novak you need a shoe to match. Low to the ground and well cushioned, so you get the best of both worlds on the court.
