US Open: Schwartzman advances as Sock retires, plays Popyrin next

Argentinian Diego Schwartzman, the No 14 seed, reached the second round of the US Open when American Jack Sock retired on Tuesday night at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in New York City.

Sock had won the first two sets against the 16th ranked Schwartzman 6-3, 7-5 before his back started bothering him. Schwartzman won the third set to love and was leading 1-0 in the fourth when the 107th ranked American decided he could no longer continue.

The injury was another blow for Sock, who has now had to retire mid-match on four occasions in 13 US open main draw appearances.

Schwartzman is through to play Australian Alexei Popyrin for a spot in the third round.
