ByHowardFendrich TheAssociatedPress NEW YORK NickKyrgiosdoes what he wants and says what he wants on a tennis court, seemingly no matter the ram- ifications, and amid all the near-napping, cursing and racket smashing, he troubled Andy Murray for moments at the U.S. Open. Only for brief moments, though. In the tournament's most- anticipated first-round matchup, the No. 3-seeded Murray hit 18 aces, saved 11 of 14 break points and, per- haps most importantly, stayed steady in the face of Kyrgios' various distractions, putting together a 7-5, 6-3, 4-6, 6-1 vic- tory Tuesday night. ThiswasKyrgios'firstmatch since he was essentially put on probation by the ATP, with the threat of a 28-day suspension and $25,000 fine if he misbe- haves at one of the tour's sanc- tioned events over the next six months. Those parameters don't apply at the U.S. Open, however, because Grand Slam tournaments are sanctioned by the International Tennis Fed- eration. That stemmed from some trash-talking last month against Stan Wawrinka in Montreal, where a courtside microphone picked up Kyr- gios saying that his pal, Aus- tralian pro Thanasi Kokkina- kis, had been with Wawrinka's girlfriend. Kyrgios was fined a total of $12,500 the next day by the ATP. Nothing of that sort hap- pened Tuesday, but Kyrgios was not exactly concerned with containing himself. Oddly, he leaned all the way back in his changeover chair during breaks, closing his eyes and resting against his towel or clutching it like a kid's blanket, looking as if about to doze off for a nap. He spiked his racket against the court and later whacked it against a wall behind the base- line. He was given a warning by chair umpire Carlos Ra- mos for swearing too loudly. He complained to Ramos that spectators were being allowed to wander to their seats during a game. He won a point with the help of a shot between his legs. He whiffed on a leaping overhead attempt. Boris Becker, a six-time ma- jor champion as a player and now No. 1 Novak Djokovic's coach, sat courtside during the match. In an on-air inter- view during ESPN's broad- cast, Becker said Kyrgios could stand to talk a little less and "should be famous for his on- TENNIS MurraywinsatUSOpen PHOTOSBYJULIOCORTEZ—THEASSOCIATEDPRESS Andy Murray, of Britain, reacts a er beating Nick Kyrgios during the first round of the U.S. Open tennis tournament in New York, Tuesday. By Rob Harris The Associated Press LONDON Olympic organizers promised Tuesday to intro- duce viral testing in the pol- luted waters in Rio de Janeiro where about 1,400 athletes will compete in next year's games. The IOC and Brazilian or- ganizers had repeatedly in- sisted that only bacterial test- ing was required despite an in- dependent five-month analysis by The Associated Press show- ing dangerously high levels of viruses from human sewage at all Rio Olympic water venues. Acknowledging that viral water testing was now neces- sary, local organizing commit- tee head Carlos Nuzman told the AP that his team was still studying how best to carry out the analysis and what patho- gens to search for. "The viral tests, we will do and we will repeat this because the most important (thing) for us is the health of the athletes," Nuzman said in an interview in London. "We are working with our medical department and looking for this."

Rio's sewage-filled waters are more than just a health risk. By Jeff Faraudo Bay Area News Group BERKELEY Quarterback Jared Goff, going all politically correct, said Tuesday that the Cal football team would be "happy" if the of- fense scores just seven points in the opener Saturday as long as it beats Grambling State. Senior wide receiver Bryce Treggs was a bit more definitive. "At the end of the game, if ev- erybody does their job, we should have somewhere around 50 or 60 points," said Treggs, whose Bears are 43 -point favorites against the Football Championship Sub- division Tigers. "That's probably me being a little bit confident, but that's really what we believe." Acknowledging he has only seen game tape from last sea- son, Treggs said Grambling plays its defensive backs close to the line of scrimmage. The Tigers ranked 108th nationally last sea- son among 121 FCS teams in pass- ing yards allowed.

By Cam Inman Bay Area News Group SANTA CLARA Shocked that Jor- dan Devey was named the San Francisco 49ers' starting right guard Tuesday? Consider how De- vey felt two weeks ago, when Bill Belichick summoned him into his office and told him he was getting traded away from the reigning- champion New England Patriots. "It's always a crazy feeling to walk into the office one day and say they're shipping you across the country," Devey said at his locker, above which a piece of ath- letic tape serves as his temporary nametag. Acquired in a swap for tight end Asante Cleveland, Devey's quick ascension into the starting lineup shows just how unstable the offensive line has been after a turbulent offseason. Coach Jim Tomsula said after Saturday's ugly showing in Den- ver that the 49ers had clarity on their ideal lineup, and he waited until Tuesday to announce his starting line for the Sept. 14 sea- son opener. Joining Devey are left tackle Joe Staley, left guard Alex Boone, right tackle Erik Pears and, in a bit of a surprise, cen- ter Marcus Martin instead of Joe Looney. Staley, a ninth-year veteran, ac- knowledged that more growing pains may be forthcoming. "It's going to be a work in prog- ress," Staley said. "It's not like we've played five years together.
