Raonic withdraws from Delray final

-

Top-seeded Milos Raonic withdrew from the Delray Beach Open final because of a hamstring injury, giving the title to Jack Sock. Raonic pulled out Sunday from the tournament in Delray Beach, Fla. The 26-year-old Canadian, the fourth-ranked player in the world, slightly tore his right hamstring Saturday in his semifinal victory over Juan Martin del Potro. The thirdseede­d Sock wound up with his second title of the year and moved up to a career-best 18th in the ATP rankings. “This is disappoint­ing in a lot of ways,” Raonic said. “I’ve been unfortunat­e with suffering injuries in three tournament­s in a row.”

Kings grab Bishop in goalie swap

The Los Angeles Kings acquired goaltender Ben Bishop from the Tampa Bay Lightning on Sunday in a trade that included goalie Peter Budaj and an exchange of draft picks. The Kings will pair Bishop with Jonathan Quick in a remarkable goaltendin­g tandem down the stretch. Quick returned Saturday from a 59-game absence with a serious groin injury. The Kings gave up Budaj, junior defenceman Erik Cernak, a 2017 seventh-round pick and another conditiona­l pick. Los Angeles received Bishop and Tampa Bay’s 2017 fifth-round pick. Also Sunday, the Minnesota Wild acquired centre Martin Hanzal from the Arizona Coyotes.
