NEW YORK -- The Latest on the U.S. Open (all times local):11 p.m.Novak Djokovic was bothered by his right arm during a first-round victory at the U.S. Open, getting treatment from a trainer, hitting slow serves and grimacing after some shots.Still, the defending champion got through the match Monday night, beating Jerzy Janowicz of Poland 6-3, 5-7, 6-2, 6-1.This was the No. 1-ranked Djokovics first Grand Slam match since losing to Sam Querrey in the third round of Wimbledon.Djokovic spoke before the U.S. Open about dealing with a left wrist injury that flared up in the days before the Rio Olympics this month. But it was his right arm that was problematic against Janowicz, a former top-20 player who reached the semifinals at Wimbledon in 2013 and is now ranked 247th after his own series of injury issues.---9:40 p.m.Jack Sock withstood Taylor Fritzs repeated comebacks to win the second five-set match between American men Monday at the U.S. Open.The 26th-seeded Sock took the first two sets, dropped the next two, then went up two breaks in the fifth only for the 18-year-old Fritz to erase both of those. But Sock broke Fritzs serve again to clinch a 7-6 (3), 7-5, 3-6, 1-6, 6-4 win in 3 hours, 21 minutes.Sock overcame 17 double-faults and 73 unforced errors to beat Fritz in five sets in the first round at a major for the second time this year -- they also met at the Australian Open in Fritzs Grand Slam debut. The players combined for 99 winners Monday.Fritz, last years U.S. Open boys singles champ, is ranked a career-best 53rd.Earlier Monday, 20th-seeded John Isner beat another 18-year-old, Frances Tiafoe, in five sets in an all-U.S. matchup.---9:10 p.m.Fifth-seeded Milos Raonic advanced to the second round at the U.S. Open with a straight-set win.The Wimbledon runner-up beat 86th-ranked Dustin Brown 7-5, 6-3, 6-4 on Monday.

Less than five minutes later, just after the song had ended, they had fully opened to reveal a hazy sky.Many fans eyes and smartphones pointed upward instead of at the on-court stage as Collins performed. He was later joined by Hamilton original cast member Leslie Odom Jr.There was no rain Monday to formally test the $150 million roof, but it still got a workout as part of the opening festivities. Officials closed it after the day session.---6:50 p.m.Olympic gold medalist Monica Puig has lost in the first round of the U.S. Open.The 32nd-seeded Puig was upset by 61st-ranked Zheng Saisai 6-4, 6-2 on Monday. Puig had insisted Saturday that she was mentally ready for the years final major after the whirlwind of the past couple of weeks, when she stunningly beat three Grand Slam champions to become Puerto Ricos first gold medalist and was feted at a parade on the island.Still, she recognized it was quite possible her U.S. Open trip wouldnt go well, reminding herself that shes just 22 years old.

Shell be seeking to make it to the third round at a major for the first time.---6:20 p.m.French Open champ Garbine Muguruza says she thinks the heat caused her to have trouble breathing early in her U.S Open first-round match.The third-seeded Spaniard had to call for the trainer after dropping the first set to Belgian qualifier Elise Mertens with temperatures in the low 90s. Muguruza said after Mondays three-set victory that she had forgotten there were towels with ice available to cool off during changeovers. She also was able to relax more, which helped.Muguruza says she had some trouble breathing in practice a couple of days earlier as well, but she felt fine during her warmup Monday. The conditions reminded her of the Australian Open, though she never remembered it being this uncomfortable in New York.Then again, the 22-year-old has never stuck around past the second round in singles at the U.S. Open.---5:35 p.m.French tennis star Gael Monfils often brings down the house with his wild shots.In the first round of the U.S. Open on Monday, his play took down a panel along the back of Court 17. Trying to chase an overhead, Monfils went leaping into the wall to attempt to reach the ball.His right foot kicked a clock apparatus, and a moment later as he was reaching down to pick up his racket, the whole panel tumbled forward, spilling out wires from behind and clipping the back of his heels.Monfils was feeling fortunate afterward that he hadnt been seriously injured. The digital panel was in worse shape from the collision, with the pieces all askew.Asked if he had realized how hard he hit the wall, Monfils said: When you are in the moment you dont feel really anything. Just jump.The 10th-seeded Frenchman went on to beat Gilles Muller 6-4, 6-2, 7-6 (5).---5:15 p.m.In a matchup of American tennis present and future, 31-year-old John Isner rallied from down two sets to edge 18-year-old Frances Tiafoe in the first round of the U.S. Open.The 125th-ranked Tiafoe had a chance to serve out the match in the fifth set Monday, but Isner broke back then pulled away in the final tiebreaker to win 3-6, 4-6, 7-6 (5), 6-2, 7-6 (3) in 3 hours, 27 minutes.It was just the second career comeback from two sets down for Isner. Tiafoe had never before played a five-set match.The 20th-seeded Isner has finished each of the last four years as the top-ranked U.S. man and has now won 11 straight Grand Slam first-round matches. Hes 5-0 against fellow Americans at majors.Tiafoe, who got in with a wild card, has just two career tour-level wins. He had played in two previous Grand Slam tournaments, losing in the first round both times.---4:50 p.m.French Open champ Garbine Muguruza lost the first set, called for the trainer and complained about trouble breathing. She won the second set without dropping a game, then pulled out a tough third set to move on at the U.S. Open.The third-seeded Spaniard beat Belgian qualifier Elise Mertens 2-6, 6-0, 6-3 in the first round. She had to save a break point at 3-3 in the third.The 22-year-old Muguruza went just 3-3 in her next six matches after winning her first major title at Roland Garros, before making a semifinal run at Cincinnati.With temperatures in the low 90s, the heat rule went into effect before the third set, giving the players a 10-minute break.The 137th-ranked Mertens is 20 years old and was making her Grand Slam debut. This was the first time she faced a top-20 opponent.Muguruza has never gone past the second round at the U.S. Open.---4:45 p.m.Playing with his left wrist heavily bandaged, Rafael Nadal won his first Grand Slam match in more than three months, easily beating Denis Istomin of Uzbekistan 6-1, 6-4, 6-2 at the U.S. Open.Nadals first-round victory in Arthur Ashe Stadium on Monday was straightforward. He produced 14 of his 21 winners via his forehand, which showed little sign of being troubled by a wrist he says is still not completely healed.Nadal hadnt played at a major since winning his second-round match at the French Open on May 26. He then withdrew from Roland Garros before the third round and sat out Wimbledon because of the problematic wrist.---4:30 p.m.John Isner has made a match of it against 18-year-old Frances Tiafoe in an all-American matchup at the U.S. Open.The 20th-seeded Isner dropped the first two sets of their first-round match.

Hercog says she felt dizzy after long rallies, and her legs started cramping in the fourth or fifth game. The 90-degree heat didnt help.Had Hercog withdrawn before the match, a lucky loser who fell in qualifying could have replaced her.

Ancelotti says Ronaldo has recovered from a hamstring injury but "but he doesnt feel comfortable yet so we wont risk him." Madrid is third in the Spanish league, six points behind leader Barcelona, going into Saturdays game against Valladolid. MONZA, Italy -- Lewis Hamilton took the all-important pole position for the Italian Grand Prix on Saturday, beating Mercedes teammate Nico Rosbergs time by nearly half a second in a commanding performance.Since 2000, the pole sitter has won 13 of 16 races in Monza and each of the past six years -- with Hamilton himself taking three of those victories.That means the pole has been more important in Italy recently than Monaco, where the top qualifier has won only 11 of the last 17 years.Featuring long straights and the highest speeds in F1 -- up to 355 kph (220 mph) -- theres plenty of space to overtake but aerodynamics make it a challenge.It is obviously a track you can overtake on but for some reason you need a second advantage (of speed) on the car in front to be able to really put the overtaking maneuver into action, Hamilton said of the storied Monza track, which has hosted more F1 racing than any other circuit.With these long straights the turbulence lasts for a long time and the closer you get, the less downforce you have.Hamilton finished 0.478 ahead of Rosberg.That last lap felt incredible, Hamilton said. Ive got it right in the sweet spot and was able to do an exceptional time with it.The Ferraris followed, with Sebastian Vettel eight tenths back in third and Kimi Raikkonen nearly a second behind in fourth.Were just not quick enough yet, Vettel said, after Ferrari finished further behind Mercedes than in last years qualifying. Its up to us to catch up.Hamilton joined F1 greats Juan Manuel Fangio and Ayrton Senna with a record five poless at Monza.ddddddddddddI feel incredibly proud and honored to be up amongst Senna and Juan Manuel -- incredible drivers -- and I never thought my name would be mentioned in the same sentence as theirs, Hamilton said. So Im very proud of that.It was Hamiltons 56th career pole and the British driver also ended Rosbergs run of three straight poles this season.I had a decent weekend until now and got some good laps in today and (was) just not quick enough, Rosberg said. The problem was that I think (Hamilton) had his best qualifying in a long time.Hamiltons championship lead over Rosberg was cut to nine points after Rosberg won last weekends Belgian GP.On Sunday, Hamilton will be aiming to become the first driver since Fangio in 1955 to win at Monza three consecutive years.Valtteri Bottas in a Williams qualified fifth, followed by the Red Bulls of Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen.Conditions were sticky, with the track at 40 Celsius (104 Fahrenheit) and the air at 29 C (84 F).Williams Felipe Massa -- who announced Thursday he will retire at the end of this season -- and McLarens Fernando Alonso and Jenson Button were among those eliminated in Q2.I didnt feel the power, losing on the straights unfortunately, Alonso said.Esteban Ocons Manor car stopped at the first chicane in Q1 and Kevin Magnussens Renault was again all over the track, as both were eliminated early on.---Andrew Dampf on Twitter: www.twitter.com/asdampf ' ' '
