ATLANTA (AP) — The body of a worker who died Tuesday in a tire explosion at a Delta Air Lines maintenance facility near the Atlanta airport was unrecognizable, and the family relied on tattoos and a lanyard to identify him, his son told a news outlet. Mirko Marweg, 58, was among two workers who died while wheel components were being disassembled for maintenance at a wheel and brake shop. A third worker was seriously injured. Marweg’s son, Andre Coleman, told Atlanta’s 11Alive news station on Tuesday that he wanted to see his father because he didn’t believe he was dead. But a medical examiner told the family the body was unrecognizable. A Mississippi State lanyard around his neck helped confirm his identity, Coleman said.

NEW YORK (AP) — A U.S. Open match that Novak Djokovic already expected to be difficult was threatening to become a toss-up as he struggled with his serve. Missing more than he made, Djokovic couldn’t get many quick points Wednesday night. He acknowledged that he should have lost the second set, and if his opponent didn’t get injured and have to stop, maybe he wouldn’t even have won that match.

NEW YORK (AP) — After serving poorly for one set during a U.S. Open victory, Coco Gauff headed to a practice court for some extra work on that stroke Wednesday night.  She realized her tosses were too far in front of her and too low, so even if she beat 99th-ranked Tatjana Maria 6-4, 6-0 to reach the third round, Gauff wanted to fix the issue. “I didn’t serve great at all,” Gauff said after stretching her winning streak to nine matches at the site of her first Grand Slam title a year ago. “I got lucky. I think I only got broken once, but probably could have — should have — gotten broken a couple of more times.” Gauff, a 20-year-old from Florida, had all sorts of trouble at the outset under the lights at a hot and muggy Arthur Ashe Stadium against Maria, a 37-year-old from Germany who made it to the Wimbledon semifinals two years ago and was hitting slices on nearly every forehand and backhand.
