run on five hits in seven innings, striking out six in his first

LONDON -- During something that sounded more like a therapy session than a post-match news conference, Nick Kyrgios bared his soul a bit after losing to Andy Murray at Wimbledon.Kyrgios derided his own performance in a 7-5, 6-1, 6-4 defeat Monday against the 2013 champion.He said, as he has before, that he doesnt love tennis.He acknowledged that he isnt doing all he can to become the best player possible -- and hes not so sure he wants to fix that.He said he enjoys the freedom of not having a coach.One week, Im pretty motivated to train and play. Im really looking forward to getting out there, the 21-year-old Australian said. One week, Ill just not do anything. I dont really know a coach out there that would be pretty down for that one.Kyrgios, seeded 15th and the youngest man to make it to the fourth round at the All England Club this year, is considered one of the top up-and-coming players in tennis.Hes immensely talented, that much is clear to everyone.He has beaten the likes of Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal.Hell thrill a crowd one moment with a between-the-legs shot -- and rile up critics the next by saying something crude.Entering Monday, Kyrgios match against his pal Murray was considered one to watch. But it fizzled pretty quickly, especially after Murray hit a cross-court forehand passing shot on the run that Kyrgios volleyed into the net to get broken and drop the opening set.It was a good first set. The rest of the match was pretty pathetic, Kyrgios said.As soon as I lost the first set, he added a moment later, I just lost belief.Continuing that theme, Kyrgios said: When things get tough, Im just a little bit soft. I mean, Ive got experience, but it ultimately comes down to just laying it all out there and competing for a long time. I didnt do that today at all.He said he isnt sure what might increase his drive to succeed.And then, as if to provide a concrete example of where things stand for him, he explained how he got ready to face the No. 2-seeded Murray on Centre Court.To be honest, I woke up this morning and played computer games, Kyrgios said. Is that the greatest preparation? I dont know. But it was fun.Murray has stood up for Kyrgios in the past, including last week, saying that the media give the guy a hard time.After Mondays match, Murray agreed with the notion Kyrgios needs to do a better job of staying present in matches.Everyones different. Its about finding the right people to help you with different things. For some, it may be a coach. For some, it might be a psychologist. Sometimes it might be speaking to family about stuff, Murray said. Theres not one way of tackling it.During Kyrgios unusually frank back-and-forth with reporters, he said hes considered the idea that perhaps hes ambivalent about wholeheartedly committing himself to success at tennis.At times, like Ive previously said, I dont love the sport, Kyrgios said. But, you know, I dont really know what else to do without it. I obviously like playing the game. Its a massive part of my life.---Follow Howard Fendrich on Twitter at http://twitter.com/HowardFendrich Adidas NMD Human Race Cheap .

HOUSTON -- Ian Desmond keeps coming up with big hits for the Texas Rangers.Sunday was no different.Desmond hit a tiebreaking single in the 11th inning and the Rangers got past Houston 5-3, beating the Astros for the 11th time in 13 meetings this season.For a guy like Desmond, whos had some challenges here lately but had been so big for us all year long in those type of situations to come up with the big hit for us was a great day for him, Texas manager Jeff Banister said.Texas took two of three in the weekend series and extended its AL West lead to 7 1/2 games over the Astros.This is the type of game good teams need to win, Banister said. This is a group of guys that are going to continue fighting. Theyre engaged. We came out on the top of it today. Things worked out for us today.Houston went 2-5 on its and has lost eight of its last 10 games.Anytime I leave this podium after a loss I hate it, Houston manager A.J. Hinch said. I dont care what teams on the other side, I dont care what division theyre in, what league theyre in and how the loss happened.Clearly games against the Rangers matter when theyre ahead of us, they matter when theyre behind us, theyre in our division. So Im not naive, I know that those games are going to be magnified. You get into August and were in a playoff race, these games get a little heightened awareness, he said.After Shin-Soo Choo led off the 11th with a double, Desmond followed with a single against Chris Devenski (0-4).Desmond is tied for the major league lead with Houstons Carlos Correa with seven go-ahead RBI in the seventh inning or later this season.I just want to make sure I feel good in those situations, and I have, Desmond said.Rougned Odor later hit an RBI double.We were 5-for-21 with runners in scoring position, Banister said. In those types of situations these guys are up there trying to put the best at-bat they can together. We got a little anxious in some of the at-bats and then hit some balls fairly well. We needed that big one and Desmond was able to come through.Matt Bush (5-2) pitched the 10th, then strucck out George Springer with runners on the corners in the 11th.ddddddddddddTexas starter Yu Darvish pitched seven shutout innings, striking out eight and giving up five hits.Darvish said through a translator the outing was the best he has felt since coming off the 15-day disabled list July 16.Alex Bregman hit an RBI double, and Jose Altuve followed with an RBI single off Jeremy Jeffress to cut the Rangers lead to 3-2 in the eighth.Tony Kemp tied it in the ninth with a single off Sam Dyson that scored pinch-runner Carlos Gomez, who slid around Jonathan Lucroys tag.Lucroy put the Rangers ahead with an RBI double in the fifth.
