NEW YORK — For Coco Gauff, the biggest star in American tennis who took full ownership of the U.S. Open last year, a triumphant sequel just wasn’t on the cards.Playing with all the flashes of brilliance, defiance and frustrating instability that have characterized her tennis all summer, Gauff fell Sunday afternoon to her compatriot Emma Navarro in three sets, ending her Grand Slam season without fulfilling her hopes of following up last year’s magical run with another trip to the winner’s circle.For the second consecutive time in a major tournament, Navarro, Gauff’s Olympic teammate, used her increasingly dangerous combination of…

EDINA, Minn. — Dropped off at the front of Tavern 23, Stephane Veilleux walks in and looks for a familiar face in one of the booths.After spotting one across the restaurant, he approaches and says, “Bring it in,” before exchanging an extremely delicate hug.“Shocking, huh?” he says.Indeed.The strong-skating, hard-hitting blue-collar forward somehow managed to avoid major injury over 10 NHL and 17 professional hockey seasons. Now, nine years after his last NHL game, he has been debilitated by an injury that has nothing to do with hockey.Since a June 19 car crash, the 42-year-old Saint-Georges, Quebec native has been in…
