American tennis player Madison Keys, the No. 8 seed in the US Open, had the honor of playing the late opening-night match in Arthur Ashe Stadium on Monday night, but she came onto the court without her most recently inked sponsor.Keys this week signed a deal with Orangetheory Fitness. As part of the contract, the company had the right to have its logo on Keys.One challenge: Keys wears a sleeveless top and has a deal with Nike that doesnt allow her to put a logo anywhere else.So her agent Max Eisenbuds solution was to offer the company a temporary tattoo on Keys skin, which the United States Tennis Association quickly vetoed.?Eisenbud said that Nike officials have indicated to him they wouldnt object to Keys wearing another logo on her skin.It is against Grand Slam rules to have signage on the body, and were not going to let fashion get in the way of that, USTA spokesman Chris Widmaier said.While the Orangetheory Fitness logo conforms to the Grand Slam logo rules of not exceeding 3 square inches, the rule says that players who dont have sleeves have to put sponsoring logos on the garments front and that no identification shall be permitted on a player.Keys wore the logo on her left shoulder to Kids Day on Saturday, but on Sunday, after a conversation Eisenbud said he had with the USTA, Keys decided not to walk out with it on Monday night.Its crazy, Eisenbud said. These Grand Slams are making insane money, only sharing about 10 percent of revenue with these independent contractors.Eisenbud said that although he backed down to the USTA for this year, he isnt giving up the fight.We were not asking for Madison to be able to wear more logos than other players, Eisenbud said. We were not asking for this logo to be larger than others. We were just asking for Madison, who like all players is an independent contractor, to be able to wear a logo of a sponsor on her skin as she plays on a court with more than 30 other logos that the USTA makes money on.Scott Breault, Orangetheory Fitness marketing director, was more reserved about the decision:We support Madison, we appreciate her passion for Orangetheory Fitness, and we respect the decision of the USTA.While prize money for the men and women at the US Open has been equal since 1973, the longest of the Grand Slam events to do so, Eisenbud said his female clients, including Maria Sharapova, are at a disadvantage in the sponsorship game. Eisenbud said that roughly 95 percent of the women on tour go sleeveless, so they generally cant have the exact logo that men have in the exact place on their sleeves.Corporate tattoos are no stranger to the sports landscape.Fifteen years ago, a marketer went to Pistons power forward Rasheed Wallace with a deal from a candy company to tattoo its logo on his body. Wallace didnt do it, but the league put in place rules that banned a future offer from being consummated.Earlier this year, T-Mobile CEO John Legere bought a temporary tattoo for the 2016 track season on runner Nick Symmonds for $21,800. Symmonds has worn temporary tattoos on his body to bring awareness to the plight of runners who are restricted as to what logos they can have when they compete. Due to rules, its not clear if Symmonds will be able to even sport the T-Mobile logo without covering it.The only sport in which temporary tattoos have been universally accepted and paid for is beach volleyball. Mens player Casey Patterson has played with up to five logos on his arms during matches.As sponsor patches start to become a norm in team sports, the money teams get are split with players per the collective bargaining agreement. Starting next season, NBA players will get paid 50 percent of the money that teams make for selling a new corporate sponsor patch on jerseys. Buy Adidas Superstar Nz .

MINNEAPOLIS -- After getting his first night off in more than a year, Jose Altuve looked as fresh as ever Tuesday night.The All-Star second baseman, who sat out Monday for the first time since June 15, 2015, went 4 for 4 and scored twice as the Houston Astros topped the Minnesota Twins 7-5.The four-hit game for Altuve matched a career high and raised his batting average to .361 as he puts his name in the AL MVP discussion.Hes the biggest piece of this puzzle, teammate Carlos Correa said.Correa drove in four runs, including a first-inning homer with Altuve on base. That snapped a drought of seven straight games for the Astros without a home run.Altuve was given the night off during Mondays series opener, ending the longest active streak in the majors at 202 consecutive games played. He didnt miss a beat one day later, and his third hit helped spark a three-run sixth for the Astros.The undersized star has reached base safely in 39 straight road games, the longest current run in the majors.He looked refreshed, Houston manager A.J. Hinch said. I dont think he ever has too much of a bad day. He came out with some fresh legs and the normal swing that he has. Hes just continuing a remarkable season and doing just about everything you could ask out of a player.Astros starter Mike Fiers (8-5) gave up three home runs -- he allowed four total in his previous eight starts -- but benefited from a good night at the plate from his offense. Fiers entered ranked fifth in the American League in run support (6.75 runs per game).No matter the situation, you always need this kind of game, Altuve said. Everybody swung the bat today.Hector Santiago (10-6) took the loss in his first home game for Minnesota and second start with his new team. Santiago was acquired in a trade with the Los Angeles Angels for right-hander Ricky Nolasco and made his Twins debut in Cleveland.Like a lot of other pitchers, Santiago had trouble getting Altuve out.You just try to throw it up there, make a good pitch and hopefully he can hit iit at somebody, Santiago said.dddddddddddd It just seems that every time he hits the ball, its somewhere where nobody is at.The Twins hit consecutive homers off Fiers in the fifth to take a 4-2 lead. Robbie Grossman hit a two-run shot to right, and Brian Dozier followed with his 23rd of the year. It was the 10th time this season Minnesota went back-to-back, the third-most in team history.Houston reliever Ken Giles allowed a run in the ninth but earned his second save in five opportunities this year. Minnesotas lineup finished 1 for 11 with runners in scoring position.ASSISTING FROM THE OUTFIELDHouston outfielders came in tied for the most assists in the majors with 35. The Astros added another, and it came at a crucial time.Center fielder Jake Marisnick threw out Trevor Plouffe at home plate following a single up the middle by Jorge Polanco. Houston catcher Evan Gattis fielded the throw perfectly and tagged Plouffe, preventing what would have been a big run for the Twins.That play kept it a 5-4 Astros lead, and Houston went on to build on that advantage in the next inning. Minnesota also threw out a runner at home plate in the first inning, but the Astros outfield assist was a game-changer.It changes the complexion of the entire game, Hinch said. Jake continues to find ways to contribute in center field. Staying under control, he kept the throw low. Great pick by Gattis, good tag at the plate, and a momentum-shifter that would have changed the game.TRAINERS ROOMAstros: RHP Luke Gregerson (left oblique strain) will throw an aggressive bullpen session on Wednesday, Hinch said. Gregerson could return as early as Friday.UP NEXTAL Cy Young Award winner Dallas Keuchel (7-11, 4.56 ERA) starts Wednesday for Houston in the third game of the series. Keuchel pitched a three-hit shutout his last time out against Texas. Minnesota will send Ervin Santana (5-9, 3.62) to the mound. ' ' '
