Bachinger needed a little more than two hours to stave off a spirited rally from 2010 Wimbledon quarterfinalist Lu in a baseline slugfest that turned out to be the highlight of a day. Also advancing to the second round were fifth-seeded Benoit Paire of France, German qualifier Cedrik-Marcel Stebe, Roberto Bautista Augut of Spain and India's Prakash Amritraj and Somdev Devvarman. In the deciding third set, Bachinger broke serve in the fifth game and held to go up 4-2 before playing out the match. Amritraj, son of former Indian Davis Cup player Vijay Amritraj, continued his form in the qualifying tournament by beating Frenchman Guillaume Rufin 6-7, 6-2, 6-3.

Lu, seeded seventh, rallied but fell short in a baseline slugfest lasting a little more than two hours. Fifth-seeded Benoit Paire of France advanced to the second round. Joining him were qualifier Cedrik-Marcel Stebe of Germany, Roberto Bautista Augut of Spain and Prakash Amritraj and Somdev Devvarman, both of India. No. 6-ranked Tomas Berdych and No. 9-ranked Janko Tipsarevic are among four players who received first-round byes and will play Wednesday.

PETERSBURG, Russia (AP) - Top-seeded Mikhail Youzhny of Russia beat Vasek Pospisil of Canada 7-6 (4), 6-1 Tuesday to advance to the second round of the St. Petersburg Open. Two other seeded players went out in the early first-round matches, as Lukas Lacko of Slovakia and Yen-Hsun Lu of Taiwan both lost. The fifth-seeded Lacko was beaten 6-3, 6-2 by Grega Zemlja of Slovenia, while the sixth-seeded Lu lost to Roberto Bautista-Agut of Spain 6-4, 6-2. Youzhny, the 2004 champion and a two-time runner-up, won four consecutive points in the first-set tiebreaker and then took the last five games after both players held their opening serves in the second set.

The 27th-seeded Querrey beat Yen-hsun Lu of Taiwan 6-7 (4), 6-4, 6-4, 7-5 in just over 3 hours Tuesday. He missed the tournament last year because of right elbow surgery. Querrey reached the round of 16 at Flushing Meadows in his previous appearance in 2010 to match his best Grand Slam performance. He had 21 aces and 50 winners Tuesday. Lu, ranked 64th, made the quarterfinals at Wimbledon in 2010.

And once he started playing tennis, the tournament's defending champion and top-seeded man probably wished he could take a mulligan. As something of an inside joke with a sponsor, Djokovic pulled a kid's golf club out of his racket bag and put it on the sideline when he arrived to face 2003 French Open champion Juan Carlos Ferrero at the grass-court Grand Slam's main stadium. Then, after a bit of a slow and nervous beginning that included an early break, Djokovic righted himself and beat Ferrero 6-3, 6-3, 6-1 to reach the second round at the All England Club. ''It was a little funny thing,'' said Djokovic, whose racket maker gave him a bag that has posts to make it stand like a golf bag. ''Being creative, that's all. But fans corrected me right away. They said, `This is not a golf course.' I said, OK.'''

The American took the opening set after Dodig double-faulted to give Querrey a 6-5 lead. In the second set, a netted forehand at 4-3 earned Dodig the only break, and in the final set a forehand error at 3-2 left Querrey in charge. ''Tough match,'' Querrey said. ''We both served very well so it was just a matter of a couple of points here and there. I'm proud of myself after losing the second set to come back strong in the third.'' Querrey will next face sixth-seeded Marin Cilic of Croatia, who advanced 6-4, 2-0 when Yen-hsun Lu of Taiwan retired because of groin pain. Lu made the more positive start and led 2-0, but Cilic responded by winning 16 of the next 18 points to lead 4-2. Cilic broke serve to lead 1-0 in the second set and won the last seven points of the match.

Lu took the opening set on Thursday before rain forced the end of play early in the second. When the match resumed on Friday, Tipsarevic leveled the match at one set each. Lu won the decisive set in the tiebreaker after dropping the opening three points. With the third round not yet completed, only three of the 16 seeded players remain in the draw of the London grass court tournament, a warm-up event for Wimbledon.

The 11th-seeded del Potro was knocked out in the second round in Melbourne last year after returning from a long layoff due to a wrist injury. The Argentine broke Lu seven times in the match and never faced a break point on his serve. Del Potro will meet German Philipp Kohlschreiber in the next round for a spot in the quarterfinals.
