New York: Fiery Australian Nick Kyrgios' US Open campaign ended in pain and tears when he retired from his third round match against Ukraine's Illya Marchenko with a hip injury on Saturday.

The 14th seed needed a medical timeout after dropping the second set and despite a series of further checks with the trainer, he quit after the third set feeling unable to move effectively enough around the Arthur Ashe Stadium court.
"It's tough. I don't like to retire. It's probably like the second or third time I've done it," said 21-year-old Kyrgios who was bidding to make the last 16 at Flushing Meadows for the first time.
Marchenko's 4-6, 6-4, 6-1 win gave the World No 68 a fourth round clash against Stan Wawrinka.
