Nick Kyrgios and Bernard Tomic could clash in a spicy first-time showdown between the Davis Cup sparring partners as opportunity knocks for Australias US Open hopes in New York.Kyrgios, seeded 14th, and Tomic, the 17th seed, have been thrown on a third-round collision course but Fridays draw at Flushing Meadows was otherwise a good one for Australias top two mens players.After drawing Andy Murray in the opening round last year and also falling to the eventual champion at Wimbledon, Kyrgios has finally been spared a confrontation with any of tenniss so-called big four until at least the semi-finals.Kyrgios will play British No.2 Aljaz Bedene on Tuesday (Wednesday AEST) for the right to challenge either Argentine Horacio Zeballos or German Florian Mayer in the second round.Tomic also opens Tuesday (Wednesday AEST), against Damir Dzumhur, and will face either Croatian Ivan Dodig or Ukraine Illya Marchenko if he can see off the Bosnian dangerman.Unbeaten against unseeded opponents in all 13 of his previous slams, Kyrgios fancies his chances of challenging for his maiden grand slam crown in the Big Apple.I only found that out recently. Its a decent record, Kyrgios told AAP.But I dont pay too much attention to it. Ive always known that if Im in the game and switched on, I can beat anyone on any stage.Kyrgios is slated to strike world No.3 Stan Wawrinka in a possible last-16 grudge match - but Tomic looms large as a potential third-round roadblock.The one-time US Open doubles partners have never clashed in singles and an intriguing match-up in New York would come six months after the pair engaged in a public verbal spat that played out on TV and social media.Tomic accused Kyrgios of feigning illness to avoid a Davis Cup playoff with the USA in March, Kyrgios hitting back on Twitter.The two have since settled their differences, with Tomic dubbing any perceived tension between the two as silly as the duo jostle for status as Australias top-ranked mens player.Me and Nick are great friends off court,?Tomic said at Wimbledon.If Nick can be No.10 in the world and I can be No.5 or he can be eight and I can be 12, Ive got to be happy with this.I respect him as a friend and as a person and as a tennis player.I dont really see any competition between whos No.1 and whos No.2.John Millman has a tough first assignment against eighth seed Dominic Thiem on Tuesday (Wednesday AEST).Australias womens stars received mixed Open draws, with former champion Samantha Stosur taking on Italys world No.66 Camila Giorgi on Monday (Tuesday AEST).Seeded 16th, Stosur is projected to meet world No.1 Serena Williams in a fourth-round rematch of their 2011 final at Flushing Meadows.Daria Gavrilova plays 2015 French Open runner-up Lucie Safarova for a likely second-round shot at world No.4 Simona Halep, while young wildcard winner Ellen Perez makes her grand slam debut against Zhang Shaui.WHO THE AUSSIES FACE AT THE US OPEN (PREFIX DEOTES SEEDING) Mens singles, first round14-Nick Kyrgios v Aljaz Bedene (GBR)17-Bernard Tomic v Damir Dzumhur (BIH)John Millman v 8-Dominic Thiem (AUT)James Duckworth v Robin Haase (NED)Jordan Thompson v Dmitry Tursunov (RUS)Womens singles, first round16-Samantha Stosur v Camila Giorgi (ITA)Daria Gavrilova v Lucie Safarova (CZE)Ellen Perez v Zhang Shaui (CHN) Yeezy Boost 350 v2 Blue Tint Pas Cher . -- Most satisfying to Russ Smith about No. Yeezy 350 v2 Reflective Pas Cher . -- Yogi Ferrell orchestrates pretty much everything in Indianas offence. http://www.pascheryeezy350v2.fr/fausse-yeezy-350-v2-static.html .

"It doesnt get any better than that," Giambi said. "Im speechless." The Indians are roaring toward October. Giambi belted a two-run, pinch-hit homer with two outs in the ninth inning to give Cleveland a shocking 5-4 win over the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday night, keeping the Indians up with the lead pack in the AL wild-card race. KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Once Corey Kluber limped to the trainers room, the Kansas City Royals broke loose against the Cleveland bullpen.Jarrod Dyson hit a grand slam that capped a seven-run rally in the eighth inning and the Royals took advantage after Kluber cramped up, topping the Indians 7-3 Monday night.Kluber scattered five hits and took the mound to begin the eighth with a 2-0 lead. But manager Terry Francona and trainer James Quinlan came from the dugout and pulled Kluber before he could throw a pitch.Kluber was suffering from a right calf cramp with the temperature at 90 degrees and the heat index 99 at the start of the game.I dont think cramps are serious, but I dont know how hes going to push off the rubber, Francona said.With Kluber out, the Royals roughed up relievers Bryan Shaw and Jeff Manship. Alcides Escobar and Eric Hosmer began the eighth with singles and both scored on Christian Colons pinch-hit double.Soon as Escobar got that infield single, I turned to Wak (bench coach Don Wakamatsu) and said, `This is how it starts for us, especially at home, Royals manager Ned Yost said.Colon hit for Kendrys Morales, who had fouled a pitch off his right foot. X-rays were negative, detecting only a bruise. Colon squared around to bunt on the first two pitches, both balls. Colon then drove the next pitch to deep center tying it at 2.I was trying to bunt the first couple, Colon said. I think the situation presented itself ... I tried to get the bunt down but those guys were crashing in. Were always talking about the situations of the game. Weve got to play aggressive and have to make things happen. Thats what makes this ballclub so good. We dont play scared.With two outs, Shaw (1-4) walked Alex Gordon and Cheslor Cuthbert. Manship was summoned to face Paulo Orlando, who hit a go-ahead single. Whit Merrifield walked to load the bases before Dyson cleared them with his first career grand slam and his first home run of the season.I let the whole team down, Manship said. I let Corey down, Brian down, giving up his runs. That stinks, for sure. I definitely feel sick to my stomach for how that went.Will the Indians be playinng Dyson deeper Tuesday?No, because its an accident, Dyson said.dddddddddddd I knew it was gone. It felt great off the bat. They dont happen to me very often, so I take advantage of that.Kluber, tagged by the Royals for eight runs in five innings on June 15 at Kauffman Stadium, struck out eight and walked three in shutting them down. He has allowed two or fewer runs in four of his past five starts.Francisco Lindor, who is hitting .439 with three home runs against the Royals this season, homered off Edinson Volquez in the first inning.Luke Hochevar (2-2) worked a scoreless eighth to pick up the victory. After Chris Young gave up a run on two hits and a walk in the ninth, Wade Davis was called to get the final out, logging his 20th save in 22 chances.ROYAL CLAIM TEPESCHThe Royals claimed RHP Nick Tepesch, a Kansas City native and a Missouri alum, off waivers from Oakland and optioned him to Triple-A Omaha.
