Umpire MOHAMED LAHYANI was suspended from his next two scheduled tournaments for "encouraging" NICK KYRGIOS on court during the US Open. Lahyani was heard telling Kyrgios, "I want to help you," during a changeover as the Australian trailed PIERRE-HUGUES HERBERT by a set and a break. The ATP banned Lahyani, 52, from October's China Open and Shanghai Masters "after an internal review" (BBC, 9/18). ... Juventus winger DOUGLAS COSTA was banned for four Serie A games for spitting at Sassuolo's FEDERICO DI FRANCESCO during Sunday's 2-1 win. Costa was booked in injury time for "elbowing and then aiming a headbutt at Di Francesco after a dangerous lunging tackle on the Italian." The Brazilian, 28, was sent off via VAR "after TV replays showed him spitting in the Italian's face" (BBC, 9/19).
