Australias John Millman has blown a massive chance to join Samantha Stosur in the third round of the Olympic tennis singles, almost toppling fourth seed Kei Nishikori.Millman, the world No.75, led the Japanese No.1 5-2 in the first set and then 4-0 in the tiebreak but was unable to convert his big lead.He then got a break in the second to lead 3-2 before Nishikori broke back and closed out the match 7-6 (7-4) 6-4.As the last Australian male out of the singles draw, Millman at least leaves Rio with an Olympic record as the first player to win 6-0 6-0 at a Games, crushing Lithuanian Ricardis Berankis in the first round.Earlier Stosur booked a third round clash with German world No.2 Angelique Kerber. Stosur set up the clash with the 2016 Australian Open champion and Wimbledon finalist with a second round straight sets win over Japans Misaki Doi 6-3 6-4.The top-seeded Australian started strongly against Doi, who is ranked world No.38, and said the swirling conditions on the Rio courts again made play tough.She stumbled early in the second and trailed 0-3 but was able to regain control and level at 3-3 before wrapping up the win.Kerber booked her third round berth with a convincing win over Canadas Eugenie Bouchard but Stosur said she felt she matched up well, with the pair three wins apiece.The Australian world No.17s last win over Kerber came in Madrid last year.Its going to be hard as shes the second best player in the world and shes won a grand slam and made the final of another and shes playing really well at the moment, Stosur said.Ive had success against her in the past and I know Im going to have to play some very good tennis to win.I fully believe I can win this match and Im going to go out there and give it everything I can.Swell Water Bottle Clearance .C. - The Carolina Hurricanes have placed backup goalie Anton Khudobin on injured reserve with an unspecified lower-body injury.
