导出博客文章NEW YORK -- Nick Kyrgios already was flexing his right hip before a game late in
the first set of his third-round match at the U.S. Open. Then came a wild point
that ended with him skidding to a stop on his knees on the sideline.Not long
after that, the 14th-seeded Kyrgios again tried to stretch out his hip, before
taking a medical timeout for help from a trainer. Soon enough, he was barely
moving during points. Eventually, Kyrgios stopped while trailing 4-6, 6-4, 6-1
on Saturday night, allowing 63rd-ranked Illya Marchenko of Ukraine to reach the
fourth round at a Grand Slam tournament for the first time.Its round of 16!
Marchenko exclaimed to the Arthur Ashe Stadium crowd during an on-court
interview. Oh, my God!Marchenko will face two-time major champion and No. 3 seed
Stan Wawrinka next.Kyrgios dealt with a hip injury earlier this season and
showed signs of trouble after only nine games Saturday, even as he played a
calm, patient brand of baseline tennis that hes not necessarily known for. At
2-all in the second set, he sprinted forward to get to a sharply angled shot by
Marchenko, reaching out to barely lift the ball back over the net for a
backspin-filled winner. But Kyrgios momentum nearly carried him all the way to
the chair umpires stand and he went down to the ground, skinning his left knee
and drawing a bit of blood.After getting broken to trail 5-4 in the second set,
Kyrgios flexed that hip again. When that set ended, Kyrgios headed to the locker
room with a trainer. But things didnt improve. He spent much of the third set
barely moving between points, calling for the trainer, cursing, and, at one
point, muttering that he felt as if hed been hit by a bus.Down 4-1 in the third,
Kyrgios sat down gingerly in his changeover seat, covered his face with a white
towel while speaking to the trainer, and then appeared on the verge of tears.A
couple of games later, he quit.Well, Im a little bit shocked right now, said
Marchenko, whose red shirt was decorated with white skulls and stars. Im really
sorry for Nick. I didnt want to win this way. ... A win is a win.---Follow

heels of Bryan Murray taking the unusual step of going into the locker room at
the Prudential Center and addressing the players himself.

business crowd that included Lesnar. The U.S. wrestler and retired mixed martial
artist says he was visiting his brothers farm in Saskatchewan and decided he
wanted to hear what the premier had to say. CHICAGO -- The Chicago White Sox
were set to wear throwback uniforms. Chris Sale had other ideas.The White Sox
suspended their ace five days without pay for destroying collared throwback
uniforms the team was scheduled to wear.The team announced the punishment on
Sunday after Sale was scratched from his scheduled start and sent home the
previous night.The suspension comes to $250,000 of his $9.15 million salary. He
was also fined about $12,700 -- the cost of the destroyed jerseys -- according
to a person familiar with the penalty. The person spoke on the condition of
anonymity because no statements were authorized.Obviously were all extremely
disappointed that we have to deal with this issue at this time both from the
standpoint of the club as well as Chris perspective, general manager Rick Hahn
said. Its unfortunate that it has become this level of an issue and potential
distraction taking away from what were trying to accomplish on the field.Sale
was not expected at the ballpark on Sunday. He is eligible to return Thursday
against the crosstown Cubs at Wrigley Field, though Hahn would not say if the
left-hander would start that game.The Major League Baseball Players Association
declined comment, spokesman Greg Bouris said. Sale could ask the union to file a
grievance.FanRag Sports first reported Sale was protesting the 1976-style
jerseys, which were navy and sported unusual collars on a hot and humid
night.Sale then cut up an unknown number of jerseys before the game and was told
to leave the stadium. With not enough usable 1976 jerseys available, the White
Sox wore white throwback uniforms from the 1983 season.The incident comes with
the White Sox in a tailspin after a 23-10 start and Sales name circulating in
trade rumors.The actions or behaviors of the last 24 hours does not change in
any aspect, any respect, our belief that Chris Sale can help this club win a
championship and win multiple championships, Hahn said. It does not move the
needle one iota in terms of his value to this club, his value to any other club
that may be interested in his services or the likelihood of him being moved or
kept whatsoever. None of that stuff is impacted at all by these events.The
incident does raise some questions in general about throwback uniforms, how
players feel about them and whether they should be forced to wear jerseys that
arent comfortable -- particularly starting pitchers.If Im playing with Chris
Sale I want him to pitch, Colorado Rockies outfielder Carlos Gonzalez said. If
he wants to play withh no shirt, we play with no shirt.dddddddddddd I just want
him to pitch.New York Yankees pitcher Chasen Shreve said: Pitchers like their
stuff. Me, it doesnt bother me, but for him, obviously it does. Its crazy. I
dont think Im that bad.White Sox pitcher James Shields wouldnt comment on
whether players should be made to wear throwback jerseys. But he did say: I dont
really mind the throwbacks. I havent had any issues with that.Manager Robin
Ventura said players occasionally wearing uniforms they dont like comes with the
job.But you wear it, he said. If you want to rip it after, you can rip it up
after. Ive seen guys rip it up after.Hahn said throwback uniforms the White Sox
wore last season were a bit baggy so the team took measurements in spring
training so they would fit the players better. He also mentioned the money the
uniforms generate.Part of the element of being in position to win a championship
is the revenue side of the operation and respect for their reasonable requests
to increase revenue, Hahn said.This wasnt the first flare-up involving the
27-year-old Sale, who is known for his competitive streak and strict training
regimen.He was openly critical of team executive Ken Williams during spring
training when he said Drake LaRoche, the son of teammate Adam LaRoche, would no
longer be allowed in the clubhouse. Adam LaRoche retired as a result, and Sale
hung the LaRoches jerseys in his locker.He was also suspended five games by
Major League Baseball last season for his role in a brawl at Kansas City that
started with a flare-up between teammate Adam Eaton and the Royals Yordano
Ventura. Sale went to the Royals clubhouse after he got tossed and was seen
pounding on the door.Hahn said the punishment was unrelated to previous
incidents. He also said the two had a very candid meeting in his office with
Sale after the pitcher had some exchanges with staff members in the clubhouse
and that both expressed remorse. They spoke again on Sunday.At that point last
night Chris stood by his actions, Hahn said. Part of what makes Chris great,
part of what makes him elite, is his passion and commitment. Weve seen that
sometimes spill out from between the white lines. Yesterday was one of those
instances and it unfortunately led to events that required discipline.---AP
