NEW YORK -- Miami Marlins president David Samson, with the entire team joining him on Sunday, discussed the importance of resuming play Monday as a way to honor Jose Fernandez. In New York, Mets manager Terry Collins echoed those remarks, noting that the proper tribute to Fernandez would be to play the game with passion.Fernandez, the Marlins ace, died early Sunday morning in a boating accident.The Mets and Marlins begin a three-game series on Monday at Marlins Park.The Mets will face the delicate balancing act of showing the proper sensitivity for Fernandezs passing while competing for a wild-card spot. Fernandez had been slated to face the Mets in Mondays series opener after Marlins manager Don Mattingly decided to give him an extra day of rest.Obviously, when we get down there, we will have a meeting -- we will get together -- so that we keep things in perspective, Collins said. Its going to be really a tough night for a lot of people. Certainly we lost a great player, but the respect for the game itself -- and he had it -- its got to be played, and its got to be played right. Because I know thats how Jose would want to do it. Thats how he would want it played. And so weve got to keep that in our minds also.Before Sundays game against the Phillies, Mets outfielder Yoenis Cespedes helped tape a Jose Fernandez?Mets jersey to the wall of their Citi Field dugout.[Mets chief operating officer] Jeff [Wilpon] came to me and [Asdrubal] Cabrera with the idea. He had the jersey made, Cespedes said through an interpreter. He came and spoke to us in the trainers room before the game. I decided I wanted to be the one to go out there and put it up, just to let everyone know how much this loss meant to us.The Mets will bring the same jersey to Miami to display in their dugout in solidarity.Cespedes, who also defected from Cuba, said getting through Sundays game, a 17-0 Mets win over the Phillies, was very tough.It was a very tough game today, Cespedes said. The loss of Fernandez was very tough. Even if everyone here wasnt necessarily close friends with him, we all knew how charismatic he was and how much the game meant to him.Cespedes and the Mets offered glowing remembrances of Fernandez -- and for far more than his dominance against the club. Fernandez was 3-0 with a 1.34 ERA in eight career starts against the Mets. He also showed enthusiasm for the game after treacherously defecting from Cuba.He was not only a great player, he was a great person, a great human being, Mets catcher Rene Rivera said. Its sad to hear the news about the passing of Jose. Im going to miss him. ... He enjoyed the game so much. Its a big loss in the Latin community of baseball. He was unique. What happened through his life, to try to come to the U.S. and follow his dream and save his mom, hes one of the great people in life. He enjoyed being on the mound, enjoyed baseball so much. Its a big loss.Said infielder Wilmer Flores: A lot of energy. When you see him pitching, thats what youre going to remember. Its just devastating news.

NEW YORK --?Johanna Konta?suffered a health scare when she collapsed on court in 80 percent humidity at the US Open, but returned to record an improbable second-round victory.Having taken the first set against Tsvetana Pironkova, the British No. 1 appeared to be struggling in the conditions at Flushing Meadows and was red in the face, with temperatures also reaching 31 degrees Celsius on Wednesday.She began to hyperventilate while serving to force a tiebreaker in the second set on Court 13 and then fell to her knees on the baseline.Konta gasped for breath as she sat down on a towel with bags of ice under her arms before the trainer arrived. She then lay on her back as the trainer and doctor took her blood pressure before helping her back to her chair, where she had her legs rubbed with ace.I was feeling a little bit the conditions, and my own energy levels, Konta told a press conference. My heart rate spiked and I couldnt really control my breathing. I started hyperventilating. I started shaking. Thats why I went down on the ground, because I was quite violently shaking.We are very fortunate with the medical staff that we have here. Once they came out I did panic a little bit. They kind of calmed me down. They did all the necessary checks to see how I was doing immediately then. Since then Ive done all the necessary checks, as well. So, yeah, all should be good.Play eventually resumed after several more minutes, and Pironkova quickly wrapped up the second set, with Konta then leaving the court for her second toilet break of the match. Still red in the face, the Briton returned and immediately broke Pironkova in the deciding set before closing out a 6-2, 5-7, 6-2 win.?I did not think of whether I was pulling out, whether I was continuing to play, said Konta, who suffered a similar incident at a tournament in the United States four years ago.I was taking it basically each second, each minute as it came. I think I just did good management in the third set. I was definitely just playing with what I had energy level-wise, feeling-wise, everyything-wise.dddddddddddd I was just focusing on my breathing, making sure I was keeping my breathing as level as possible.Pironkova admitted she was thrown off her game by the lengthy delays.We lost some time there with the medical timeout and the treatment, the Bulgarian told reporters. What was frustrating for me was what happened after that, the toilet break, because I think the match was stopped for just too long.It was an unfortunate time for me, I had my momentum going, was getting back in the match. Probably that break somehow maybe stopped that momentum, but then again I dont want to make excuses for myself.To be able to go and change your clothes after every set, it didnt work out good for me today, but these are the rules. I wish I could say all the players use them [toilet breaks] accordingly to go to the toilet but obviously some use them to refocus. I dont think they should be used that way. If I dont need to go to the toilet, I dont do that.Konta said she felt embarrassed by the incident but defended her decision to depart the court at one-set all.The way it worked out with the medical timeout, it was right at the end of that second set, she said. I needed to get changed out of my clothes. I was soaked through.Im not a fan of drama. I did the best that I could with the cards that I had. My opponent, she was gracious, and she was also very, I felt, understanding of the situation that was going on.?Its not a situation that Id want to be in. Its not a situation Id want anyone to be in. Im out there to play my sport, to showcase my sport. Im not an actress. Im not a drama queen.To be in a situation where its quite a vulnerable situation, yeah, its not a humbling experience, but it does kind of take you back a bit. Its a bit of a shock to the system. Thats all.At the 2014 US Open, Peng Shuai had to be helped off court in a wheelchair after collapsing twice in her semifinal against Caroline Wozniacki. ' ' '
