Rising Australian star Nick Kyrgios was forced to retire from the US Open after three sets of his third round match.
Kyrgios
was behind in the tie with Ukrainian Illya Marchenko but decided to
concede after what the official US Open website said was a hip injury.
It
hands Marchenko a fourth round tie with the number three seed Stan
Wawrinka, who survived a match point against him to win in five sets
against Britain's Dan Evans.
"I'm
pretty disappointed," Kyrgios told reporters. "I don't like to retire.
It's probably like the second or third time I've done it. It's never
easy."
Some of the other stars of the men's game cruised through into the last 16.
