Abuse accusation

-

The ATP says it is reviewing accusation­s by Donald Young that Ryan Harrison used racially inappropri­ate language when the Americans had a heated exchange during their openingrou­nd match at the New York Open. Harrison beat Young 6-3 7-6(4) on Tuesday, and at one point during a changeover the two appeared to be arguing, the chair umpire moving in between the players to attempt to calm the situation. Young posted on Twitter after the match: ‘‘I’m shocked and disappoint­ed, Ryan Harrison, to hear you tell me how you really feel about me as a black tennis player in the middle of our NY match.’’
