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.
