NEW YORK, N. https://www.cheapuswnt.com/" class="TyTxtSmlC">USWNT Jerseys 2021 .Y. - Two Canadians have already exited the US Open. Sharon Fichman of Toronto and Aleksandra Wozniak of Blainville, Que., were eliminated just an hour into Mondays first-round action at the last Grand Slam of the year. Fichman returned from arthroscopic knee surgery to a crushing 6-1, 6-0 loss to fourth-seed Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland in a match that took 47 minutes. Wozniak lost to Japans up-and-coming Kurumi Nara, 6-2, 6-1, in 59 minutes. In the mens draw, 46th-ranked Vasek Pospisil of Vancouver lost to clay-court specialist Simone Bolelli 2-6, 6-4, 6-2, 3-6, 6-3. The No. 112-ranked Fichman was playing her first match since losing in the first round of Wimbledon on June 24. She had surgery to repair torn cartilage in her knee in late July, the result of injuries suffered in World Team Tennis. "Only I know what Ive been going through," she said. "Considering all that I have on my plate, I definitely did the best job that I could. Im proud of my effort. I knew that even on the best of days, Radwanska would not be the easiest match." Fichman is still searching for her first singles victory at a Grand Slam after first-round losses in New York last year and at Roland Garros and Wimbledon in 2014. She was rusty Monday, with 24 unforced errors and 23 winners from her Radwanska. "I dont know how long it will take me to come back," said Fichman. "Im doing the best that could be asked for after the surgery and the ankle and everything. Ill do all that I can, eventually Ill get there. All the struggles and hard work will make me better at the end." The No. 97-ranked Wozniak suffered through 28 unforced errors as she ended her Grand Slam season without a victory at any of the three majors she played — Paris, London and New York. The 26-year-old Canadian, who has struggled in her comeback from a shoulder injury several seasons ago, was playing her first elite-level match since losing in the first round of the Rogers Cup this month at home in Montreal. "Obviously, Im not happy with my game today," Wozniak said. "I didnt meet the expectations. She played well though, changing the speed and trajectory of the ball and I couldnt adjust. "Nothing worked. Its been a pretty tough day at the office for me." The 26-year-old, who has struggled in her comeback from a shoulder injury several seasons ago, was playing her first elite-level match since losing in the first round of the Rogers Cup this month at home in Montreal. "Were almost at the end of the season and my shoulder seems fatigued," she said. "Its not in perfect shape at the moment. Bandages helped it. Its been bothering me for three weeks and it worries me a bit. But they tell me its fatigue only. Well see in the off-season what well do with that." Woznaik said she is unsure if she will play in next months WTA event in Quebec City. Pospisil, who won the Wimbledon doubles title with American Jack Sock, was ambushed by No. 85 Bolelli as the Italian staged his upset in just under three hours. Pospisil fired 13 aces but was weighed down by 51 unforced errors and managed only 21 winners. He also went out in the first round at last years US Open. Two other Canadians were in action Monday. Fifth seed Milos Raonic of Thornhill, Ont., was set to open against Taro Daniel of Japan later Monday, while Francoise Abanda was facing 2013 Wimbledon finalist Sabine Lisicki in the womens first round. https://www.cheapuswnt.com/" class="TyTxtSmlC">Wholesale USWNT Jerseys . The win puts the final playoff berth in Group A in question. If the Czechs beat Slovakia on Tuesday, they will go through. If they lose, Germany will get the last quarter-final berth. https://www.cheapuswnt.com/" class="TyTxtSmlC">USWNT Shirts . -- The Minnesota Vikings have signed Jerome Simpson, the former Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver recently convicted on a felony drug charge. https://www.cheapuswnt.com/" class="TyTxtSmlC">https://www.cheapuswnt.com/ .The ruling takes effect on Jan. 1 and stems from the debate surrounding Paralympic champion Markus Rehm, an amputee who won the national long jump title competing with a carbon-fiber prosthesis.WINNIPEG -- An Olympic dream moved a step closer to reality for John Morris Saturday, as he handed his former skip a ticket home. And Kevin Martin said he had no one to blame but himself. Morris and Brad Jacobs will square off in the mens final Sunday at the Olympic trials, while Jennifer Jones and Sherry Middaugh were set to play Saturday evening in the womens final. "Either my first or second one in six, that was the game-breaker," said Martin. "We force them to one there, weve got all the momentum going into seven." Instead, Martin lost 7-5, letting Morris score a deuce in six and another in eight, then losing the hammer in nine when he failed to blank on an open hit. It was a sweet win for Morris, who took over as skip this year on Jim Cotters B.C. rink with the Olympics in his sights. Cotter moved to third, although he still throws fourth rocks. "It feels great, its been a real grind of a year . . . We seem to be playing our best curling right now and Im just real proud of the guys," he said. He gave full marks to Cotter. Martin said he was surprised at the shots Cotter made. As the strategist, Morris watched his former skip all week and put a rock in the one spot in nine where Martin had nosed one earlier in the round robin. Martin, who was trying for his fourth trip to the Olympics, kept his composure but said this will be his last Olympic Trials. A frustrated Marc Kennedy, Martins second, couldnt hide his feelings as he smaashed is broom into shards in the hallway after he left the ice. https://www.cheapuswnt.com/" class="TyTxtSmlC">Cheap USWNT Jerseys. Lead Ben Hebert said Martin kept them in the hunt all week (they lost only once to Jacobs). "Kevin was the best player here all week, standing on his head just to keep us in it, thats the reason we were 6-1, and he didnt play good today," he said, adding that he isnt giving up on a return trip to the Olympics, after winning gold with Martin in 2010. "The game should have been over after five or six and we let them off the hook." Morris, who was also part of that 2010 gold-medal team, said they knew they werent favoured to win. "We didnt mind the underdog tag and we knew what we were capable of." As for the future of the team if they dont beat Jacobs Sunday, Cotter said that remains up in the air. "Weve talked about the future and who knows," he said. "Were focusing on this moment here and now and what our game plan is going to be tomorrow. Were just going to go out and try and play our best game." Their best game will be needed against Brier winner Jacobs, who swept the field in the round robin, handing Martin his only loss, to move directly to the final. "We just need to keep doing what weve been doing," said Jacobs, who practised Saturday. "Everyone is throwing the rock great on this team . . . We just need to come out and perform like weve performed all week and let the chips fall where they may." ' ' '
