Samantha Stosur isnt ruling out a fifth Olympics tennis campaign despite her Rio Games ending in disappointing fashion with a straight sets loss to Germanys Angelique Kerber. Chad Williams Womens Jersey .The last Australian remaining in the singles, Stosurs medal plans came to a crashing end in the third round, losing 6-0 7-5 to the world No.2.After a forgettable opening set she rallied to break Kerber and level at 5-5 in the second only for the 2016 Australian Open champion to break straight back before serving out the match.Obviously the first set really got away from me; I think four games were deuce but I wasnt able to make any inroads and I felt I was always playing catch-up, Stosur said.In the second I started to get myself into the match and that 5-4 game was huge but you cant have a game like that and then let them off again by losing serve especially when theyre a quality player like she is.It bettered her previous best Olympics showing back in 2008 by one round and Stosur wasnt ruling out another Games in Tokyo in four years time, when she will be 36.I cant say Im expecting to be in Tokyo but if I can, and I can still stay healthy and do what Im doing then I dont see why not, said the world No.17.Stosur will partner John Peers against fourth-seeded Indian combination Sania Mirza and Rohan Bopanna in the opening round of the mixed doubles.

Jets start a six game home stand Friday with another divisional game, home to the Dallas Stars. TORONTO -- Prior to training camp this season, young midfielder Jonathan Osorio was just hoping to catch on with Toronto FC. The 20-year-old from Toronto has gone well beyond just hanging around. Osorio earned a starting assignment in the MLS clubs first pre-season game against Columbus in Orlando in February, has seen action in 10 of TFCs first 11 league games, scored twice and been singled out for praise by manager Ryan Nelsen, who has used him as an impact substitute. On Thursday, the soft-spoken Osorio added another chapter to his resume when he was called up for Canadas friendly on Tuesday against Costa Rica in Edmonton. "Its very overwhelming," Osorio told reporters after Toronto FCs practice Thursday. "Everythings happened so fast, in such a short period of time. Im really happy. My familys ecstatic. Im really excited and anxious to get started." Tony Fonseca, technical director for the Canadian Soccer Association, and interim national team coach Colin Miller no doubt appreciate the enthusiasm. Given that the game does not fall on one of FIFAs international match dates, many clubs were reluctant to release players to Canada. D.C. United, for example, declined to make Dwayne De Rosario, Dejan Jakovic or Kyle Porter available. The Washington-based team, which currently occupies the MLS basement with a 1-8-2 record, has a U.S. Open Cup game against the Richmond Kickers that same night. Portland captain Will Johnson wanted to play for his country but his MLS side, which faces the Wilmington Hammerheads the next night in another U.S. Open Cup game, said no. Adding to the fixture gridlock, the Montreal Impact play the Vancouver Whitecaps in the second leg of the Amway Canadian Championship final on Wednesday. The Costa Rica game, the first for the Canadian men in Edmonton since 2008, will feature Edmonton natives Tosaint Ricketts and Randy Edwini-Bonsu. Miller isnt sure what kind of team Costa Rica will send north. The Central Americans, ranked No. 48 in the world compared to No. 80 for Canada, are gearing up for a June 7 World Cup qualifying match against Honduras. But the Edmonton game is being played on artificial turf, which may be a turn-off. "Will they risk some of their big guns coming into town?" mused Miller, "I dont know, Im hearing mixed stories." Miller wont get much time with his own squad. Ricketts, for one, isnt expected in camp until Monday. "Its not ideal preparations," Miller told a media conference call, adding "Im certainly not making excuses." Miller may call up a player or two from his own FC Edmonton team, of the North American Soccer League, if some of those summoned dont make it. Other Toronto FC players called up are defenders Doneil Henry and Ashtone Morgan and midfielder Kyle Bekker. Only Henry has seen first-team action recently. The Vancouver Whitecaps provide goalie Simon Thomas while the San Jose Earthquakes furnish defender Nana Attakora. The other 12 play in Europe, including veteran midfielder Julian de Guzman. While Miller prefers a 4-4-2 formation, he said he plans to play a 4-2-3-1 scheme after talking to Fonseca, who used it in aa March national team game against Japan. Haason Reddick Youth Jersey. "I want us to be aggressive ... Im not interested in sitting back, waiting to get beat," Miller said. Osorios call-up drew a smile from Torontos Nelsen. "Im really proud of the guy, because his attitude from Day 1 has been absolutely brilliant," said the former New Zealand international. "Hes a real big future star for Canada football." "Its great for the club," he added, "that the guys come through the academy and now hes a Canadian international literally in two months, three months." In truth, Osorio never played for the academy. Coming from SC Toronto of the Canadian Soccer League, he signed in the fall and was only invited to Torontos main camp because several players were away with the Canadian national team in Arizona. His goal with TFC was just to earn a contact. "I did not expect any of this to happen this fast, to be honest with you," he said. While just out of his teens, Osorio has gone a long way to make his soccer dream happen. He spent two years at Club Nacional in Montevideo, Uruguay, thanks to the connections of coach Jorge Amura at the Clarkson Sheridan Soccer Club in suburban Mississauga and an impressive showing during a South American tour. He started in the Club Nacional under-19 ranks before making his way into the reserves before deciding to return home at the end of 2011. "Its funny how things work," Osorio said. "Usually people work hard here and then go away. I went away to come back. It was hard, it was a very hard road for me. But the reward is the sweetest." Upon his return, things werent all turning up daisies. At this time last year, he was out with knee tendinitis and looking for a team. "I was in panic mode," he said. But he has found a home with Toronto FC. Miller also served as interim Canadian coach in 2003-2004 and was at the helm in January for games against Denmark (a 4-0 loss) and the U.S. (a 0-0 draw). While he has made no secret of his desire to become permanent manager at some time, he says there have been no discussions with the CSA about running the team during this summers Gold Cup. NOTES -- Miller was blunt when quizzed why goalkeeper Roberto Stillo, who was in his January camp, had not got another invite. "He didnt show me enough in training to play him," said Miller. --- Canada Goalkeeper: Haidar Al-Shaibani, Nimes Olympique (France); Milan Borjan, Sivasspor (Turkey); Simon Thomas, Vancouver Whitecaps.
