Kyrgios joins compatriot Bernard Tomic in pulling out of the team after both players were placed on watch by AOC chef de mission Kitty Chiller over their behaviour.Tomic released a statement last month that he did not want to be considered for the team and Kyrgios, although he has been backed by Tennis Australia, added his name to the unavailable list on Friday. The 21-year-old has been at the centre of a number of incidents on court, frequently receiving warnings for swearing during matches, and he was given a suspended ban last year for making lewd comments about Stanislas Wawrinkas girlfriend. Kyrgios mad moments We take a look at the Australians previous run-ins It is with a heavy heart that I have had to make a decision not to compete at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Kyrgios said on his personal website.Coming to this decision has been a lengthy and difficult process, and I am extremely disappointed to have been put in this unfortunate position. Bernard Tomic also withdrew his name from consideration AOCs unfair and unjust treatment of me over the last four weeks, as well as the organizations crystal clear position on whether they want me to be a part of the Australian Olympic team, has solidified my final decision.While I have received assurances from Tennis Australia that I will be nominated for the Olympic team, the AOC has chosen to publicly and privately disparage me.Not one member of the AOC has reached out to me, my family, my team, or representatives of Tennis Australia, asking for a meeting or the opportunity to discuss their concerns. Kyrgios has regularly made headlines for his hot-headed behaviour on court The AOCs unwarranted attacks on me demonstrate the organizations inability to understand the circumstances surrounding highly competitive sports.No tennis players have yet been officially nominated by Tennis Australia, and the International Tennis Federation is yet to inform countries which players are eligible - that announcement is expected on June 9.In a statement released on the AOCs official website, Chiller said: According to his website, Nick Kyrgios has made himself unavailable for selection on the 2016 Australian Olympic Team.At this point, Nick Kyrgios, or any other tennis athlete, has not been nominated for selection on the Australian Olympic Team. In regard to selection every athlete in contention is treated equally and fairly. We have no further comment on this issue. Also See: Djokovic reaches Paris semis Will Rafa return?

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Jourdan Lewis leaped, fully extended his right arm, squeezed the point of the football into his palm and pinned it against his hip.No. 4 Michigan needed the spectacular play to seal its latest victory, the first one that wasnt a rout this season.Wilton Speight threw a tiebreaking, 46-yard touchdown pass to Amara Darboh midway through the fourth quarter and Lewis made his spectacular play near midfield with 2:15 left, helping the Wolverines hold on to beat No. 8 Wisconsin 14-7 on Saturday. The interception was reminiscent of a one-handed reception famously made by a New York Giants receiver.Ive seen Odell Beckham do that, Wolverines coach Jim Harbaugh said. The most impressive thing about it was he jumped a little early.The Wolverines (5-0, 2-0 Big Ten) beat a top-10 opponent for the first time since a Rich Rodriguez-coached team rallied to beat the ninth-ranked Badgers in 2008. And it was a defensive struggle throughout.Wisconsin (4-1, 1-1) had the ball at its 8 with 2:59 and no timeouts left with a chance to beat a third team ranked in the top 10. The Badgers went for it on fourth-and-10 from its 8, and Alex Hornibrooks deep pass was picked off by Lewis. Lewis leaped to snatch the ball out of the air reminded some of a one-handed interception Charles Woodson made in 1997 at Michigan State.Its a great feeling to be compared to someone so great, Lewis said. Its humbling.Hornibrook , in his second start, threw three interceptions. The freshman quarterback did throw a game-tying, 17-yard TD pass to Dare Ogunbowale midway through the third quarter. Hornibrook finished 9 of 25 for 88 yards and the Badgers were held to just 71 yards rushing.We couldnt really get any drives going, he said.Wisconsin was 1 of 6 on third down in the fourth quarter and earned a first down on just 3 of 15 third downs.We didnt convert, Badgers coach Paul Chryst said. We didnt get anything consistently going in the run game.Michigan had chances to have a bigger cushion, but Kenny Allen missed two field goals and his replacement, Ryan Tice missed a field goal. Aaron Ness Jersey. To win championships, youve got to make field goals, said Harbaugh, adding the two will compete during practice for the job.THE TAKEAWAYWisconsin: The Badgers have impressive wins against then-No. 8 Michigan State and then-No. 5 LSU, but could not overcome the turnovers made by Hornibrook.Michigan: The Wolverines suddenly have some serious woes on special teams. Allen is just 4 of 8 on field goals this season, and got benched. Highly touted freshman Quinn Nordin, who had Harbaugh sleep over at his house during a recruiting visit, is not an option because hes injured. The Wolverines were also plagued by penalties on punts.POLL IMPLICATIONSThe Wolverines will likely stay right where they are in The Associated Press poll . The Badgers will probably move down a few spots because the next highest-ranked team to lose was No. 12 Florida State.ALL ABOARDIn a unique formation, Harbaugh called for nine players to be directly behind center Mason Cole, and had Speight speaking to the Wolverines in the long line. Then, the Wolverines got into a traditional, tight formation to pave the way for DeVeon Smith to run up the middle for 5 yards against the Badgers to set up Hills TD run. Harbaugh said his son, Jay, an assistant coach, installed the unique formation during a recent practice. Maybe it has a future, Harbaugh said with a grin.UP NEXTWisconsin: The Badgers run of games against top-10 teams extends to three with a home game against No. 2 Ohio State. The seasons only going to keep getting harder, said Corey Clement, who ran for 68 yards on 17 carries.Michigan: Finally, the Wolverines hit the road. They play at Rutgers, which is coming off a 58-0 loss at Ohio State to fall to 2/3 overall and 0-2 in the Big Ten. ' ' '
