There weren't many surprises on the men's side on Monday, as Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer, Tomas Berdych and Kei Nishikori all cruised to opening-round victories. It was the 17th straight year that Federer advanced past the opening round in Australia.

Jo-Wilfried Tsonga had a bit more trouble. He advanced despite dropping a set, making it a clean sweep for the top 10 seeds in play.

Of course, the big story on the day was Djokovic responding to the reports of match-fixing in tennis, reported by the BBC and BuzzFeed News. The world No. 1 said he was offered $200,000 in 2007 to fix a match in Russia, per Jim Caple of ESPN, though he said he didn't accept the money:

"

It made me feel terrible because I don't want to be anyhow linked to this kind of—you know, somebody may call it an opportunity. For me, that's an act of unsportsmanship, a crime in sport honestly. I don't support it. I think there is no room for it in any sport, especially in tennis."

"

Jason Gay of the Wall Street Journal applauded him for coming forward:

On the court, Djokovic smashed 10 aces, 40 winners and won 89 percent of his first-serve points.

Of the top 30 seeds in play, only No. 17 Benoit Paire and No. 22 Ivo Karlovic—who had to retire—were eliminated.

Paire wasn't exactly graceful in defeat, smashing a racket in frustration during the match while classifying his opponent, Noah Rubin, as "not a very good player," per Peter Hanson of Sporting News.com.

Several top players will be in action on Tuesday, however, including No. 2 Andy Murray, No. 4 Stan Wawrinka and No. 5 Rafael Nadal.

Much like the men, the top women all advanced on Monday, including Serena Williams, Maria Sharapova, Agnieszka Radwanska and Petra Kvitova.  

Williams moved on after some anxiety, however, as Camila Giorgi tested her, slapping seven aces and 17 winners—not far behind the nine and 19 Williams managed. Giorgi was done in by her 32 unforced errors, however. 

“I’ve played her a couple of times before and just wanted to be as consistent as I could. She definitely doesn’t give you a lot of rhythm, so it’s definitely a different match," Williams said, per Steve Tignor of Tennis.com. “I think I served well today. I think, you know, I got broken once, but other than that I was able to stay focused on that part.”

Several big names were one and done, however, none of them bigger than Caroline Wozniacki. Yulia Putintseva knocked her out, though Wozniacki's 36 unforced errors and the fact that she kept just 59 percent of her first serves in play certainly played a major role in her elimination.

Samantha Stosur, Sara Errani and Sloane Stephens also dropped out of contention on Monday. It was the second year in a row that Stephens failed to advance past the first round of the Australian Open.

It was a disappointing result for Stephens, who won two WTA titles in recent months. But she kept it in perspective.

"I'm disappointed that I lost here, but if I play until I'm 35, I have plenty more Grand Slams to go. So I just have to look past it," she told Jocelyn Gecker of the Associated Press.
