Friday's Sports in Brief (Yahoo Sports)

Roger Federer showed against 10th-seeded Tomas Berdych that his first two wins against qualifiers at the Australian Open really were warmups. The 17-time Grand Slam champion, seeded 17th after spending six months on the sidelines last season, only needed 90 minutes to beat Berdych 6-2, 6-4, 6-4 in the third round. This was against a rival who played the Wimbledon final in 2010 and reached the quarterfinals or better in Australia the previous six years.
