Nipple malfunction at the Open!
Cool your jets, guys. It was in the men's division.

During the second round of the U.S. Open, Dan Evans had a trainer come out for a reason that we haven't heard before. He was struggling with nipple chaffing.
Evans, the consensus No.2 player in Britain behind Andy Murray, was playing Australian Bernard Tomic when he called the trainer out because he was struggling with something that sounds like a Triathlon injury, eventually putting tape over his, umm, injured region.
Evans, a qualifier at this event, went on to upset Tomic and advance to the third round, and as Chris Chase pointed out over at USA Today, earned as much money at this event even if he loses in the third round as he ever has in a singles event, but still, nipple chaffing? That is going to earn you a little ribbing from your fellow professional tennis players.
