FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Falcons receiver Julio Jones has waited 11 months to return from a broken right foot and regain his Pro Bowl form. Now that its just three days until Atlanta opens the season against New Orleans, Jones says hes ready to wreak havoc on the Saints secondary. "I was down last year. I wasnt there to help my teammates," Jones said on Thursday. "I feel great, man. I feel like Im 100 per cent right now." Jones season ended after five games last year, at which he point he led the NFL in catches and ranked second in yards receiving. Losing Jones, the No. 6 overall draft choice of 2011, was a huge blow, and the Falcons finished 4-12. Quarterback Matt Ryan suffered behind a porous offensive line and was limited in the passing attack with tight end Tony Gonzalez drawing double coverage and receiver Roddy White playing with a sore hamstring. Though Gonzalez retired, Atlanta likes its chances against the Saints defence with Jones and White back together on the field. They were one of four pair of receivers two years ago to each have at least 1,000 yards receiving, and the Falcons finished 10 yards shy of the Super Bowl. Jones job will be to draw double coverage on deep routes and exploit one-on-one matchups when theyre presented on quick slant routes. Ryan also will give receivers Harry Douglas and Devin Hester chances in the passing attack. "I expect to have double coverage, you know?" Jones said. "If not, Im going to go out there and make some plays and make something happen. But Ive got to take my job seriously in those situations. I cant go out there and take plays off because Im not getting the ball. Ive still got to go out there and run full speed to try and draw that coverage." The Saints have undergone a bit of a makeover in the secondary with the departures of Roman Harper and Malcolm Jenkins. New Orleans biggest move in free agency was signing Jairus Byrd and pairing him at safety with Kenny Vaccaro, a first-round pick last year. Patrick Robinson and Keenan Lewis return at cornerback. "We played (Byrd against) Buffalo last year," Ryan said. "We know the kind of range he has, the kind of ball skills he has. Thats a huge addition for them. The addition of him, along with the way their front seven plays, makes that secondary tough to go against." Jones is eager for the Falcons, who have routinely struggled against the Saints in six years under coach Mike Smith, to avenge last years season opening loss in New Orleans. "Were just going to get a win out of the way," Jones said. "We win, and were up in the division, but weve got see where were at. Last year was a season wed like to have (back), and weve just got to go out this season and start over." White feels as if Atlanta is in better shape mentally and emotionally with the first game quickly approaching. That wasnt the case so much last year as the Falcons seemed to believe the hype that they were Super Bowl-bound. "We kind of like our position and where were at," White said. "We can just go out there and play. We have no pressure on us, no Super Bowl aspirations and stuff like that and then you have to go out there and win nine, 10 games in a row. But this is a very important game. We have to get off to a good start." Atlantas offensive line faces a tough challenge in holding back a stout Saints defence that had 49 sacks, the leagues fourth-highest total. "Their line will put pressure on your quarterback," Jones said. "Their very athletic in the secondary. Weve just got to pick our spots and connect on them." And New Orleans coach Sean Payton knows his team cant take its eyes off Jones. "Hes got great athleticism and very, very good hands," Payton said. "When you put together his speed and size and obviously athleticism, youve got to be mindful of where he is on each play." Womens Air Zoom Training Shoes .

Murray earned a 5-7, 7-6 (11-9), 6-1 victory for his 29th career title and first since his historic run at Wimbledon in July of 2013. The 27-year-old Scot underwent back surgery late last year and his best results in 2014 prior to this week were semifinal appearances in Acapulco and the French Open. He was stopped in the quarterfinals of his last four events -- Wimbledon, Toronto, Cincinnati and the U.S. Open. Its been a long time since I won a tournament, said Murray. It was an emotional week for me. I managed to fight my way through it, win the title, and hopefully I can win another one before the end of the year. Murray will play next week in Beijing and it appeared he would head into that tournament as this weeks runner-up, trailing the second-set tiebreaker 6-2. Robredo, though, squandered four straight match points as Murray evened it at 6-6. The Spaniard had yet another match point at 7-6, but again failed to convert and Murray managed to win the set. He then dominated the third. I got lucky, basically, at the end of the second set, Murray said..dddddddddddd I fought hard, tried my best and thankfully managed to turn it around. Tommy had a great tournament. He probably deserved to win the match today. He had the opportunities in the second set, but sometimes that happens in sport. I just tried to fight till the end. Robredo fell to 12-9 all-time in finals, including 0-2 this year. He lost to Pablo Cuevas in July at Croatia and hasnt won a title since claiming the Croatia Open crown in 2013. When you finish second in a tournament its always great, said Robredo. In a match like today that was so close, its tough to accept it. But Andy did a great job. He was pushing right until the end, and in the end he deserved it. It was a good experience to learn from. I will keep working and hopefully next time I can win. Murray improved to 4-2 against Robredo, winning each of the last four matches. The two last met in the third round at Wimbledon in 2013, an easy straight-set win for the London resident. Robredos last victory over Murray came at the Metz final in 2007, a three-set win that also resulted in the last hardcourt title for the 32-year-old veteran. Murray, who improved to 29-14 all-time in finals, earned a first prize of $106,970.
