MISSISSAUGA, Ont. . -- Meagan Duhamel and Eric Radford captured their second straight national pairs title Saturday, edging Kirsten Moore-Towers and Dylan Moscovitch by two points at the Canadian figure skating championships. Duhamel, from Lively, Ont., and Radford, from Balmertown, Ont., scored 137.55 for their free skate to earn 206.63 points overall and bring the Hershey Centre crowd to its feet. Moore-Towers, from St. Catharines, Ont., and Moscovitch, from Waterloo, Ont., scored 204.54 overall. Paige Lawrence of Kennedy, Sask., and Rudi Swiegers of Kipling, Sask., won the bronze with 171.13 points. "Dylans my best friend. It was challenging to be really happy for him in that moment," Radford said, laughing. "But I am, Im really happy for him and for us. It was an incredible night of skating." Duhamel could barely contain her nerves as she waited for the scores, sitting with clenched fists as she stared at the television monitor. "Oh my god, that was the most amazing feeling I have ever had in my life," she said. "It was like a million roller-coasters that we just rode."

And the ultra-competitive Clemens, now a half-century old, was quick to point out just how well he did against that group of geezers. "I hit two homers, by the way," he said. .

Burnett pitching on his regular day so he didnt miss the showdown with the Cincinnati Reds. . -- The Memphis Grizzlies ramped up defensive pressure has led to some impressive wins. MONACO -- Seven-time defending champion Rafael Nadal will try to beat top-ranked Novak Djokovic for the first time in eight finals when they meet in the Monte Carlo Masters decider on Sunday. Nadal advanced to the final without dropping a set when he beat Gilles Simon 6-3, 6-4 in his semifinal on Saturday, while Djokovic earlier rallied from a set down to beat Tomas Berdych 4-6, 6-3, 6-2 and reach his second final at Monte Carlo. "Hes the best ever in history of the sport on this surface. Its an ultimate challenge," Djokovic said. "I cannot have ups and downs. I cannot afford that against Rafa. But why not believe that I can win?" Djokovic has beaten the Spaniard in seven consecutive finals, including this years Australian Open, and handed Nadal his only two defeats on clay last year. "I have everything to win. Thats the only positive thing about losing seven times," Nadal said. "The next matches, you only have to win." Nadal had not played for three weeks prior to the tournament as he needed to rest and have treatment on his troublesome left knee. "Dont forget that few weeks ago I didnt know if I will be here playing or not," he said. "The match will be a fantastic test for me, and I have to play aggressive." With the Monte Carlo court among the slowest on the clay circuit, the conditions suit Nadal. However, he thinks the fact he is still working his way back to full fitness, added to Djokovics recent record against him, means the Serb is the favourite. "Seriously, I (would) like to play this match a few weeks later," Nadal said. "When one player beats another one seven times in a row (on) clay, hard, and grass, is very easy to decide the favourite." Overall, Nadal leads their head-to-heads 16-14 but has not won since a group-stage match at the 2010 ATP Finals in London. However, Nadal has not lost in Monte Carlo since 2003 -- he was injured the following year -- and has won 41 straight matches here. "We are evenly matched," Djokovic said. "You always know that Rafa is going to come up with his best fight and his best tennis." But the Serb, who lost to Nadal in the 2009 final, is playing under difficult circumstances here. Two days after the death of his grandfather, he pointed to the sky for several moments after his hard-fought win against Berdych. ";Under the circumstances I didnt know if I could reach the final this week," Djokovic said. [url=http://www.lionsofficialteamstore.com/autographed-dominic-raiola-jersey-se-... Raiola Jersey. The 10-time Grand Slam champion Nadal is without a title since winning last years French Open. He was also without a title in 2011 heading into Monte Carlo, then went on to win here and at Roland Garros. Simon had Nadal under pressure at 3-3 in the first set. Nadal was down 15-40 in the seventh game and Simon was dominating the rally from the back of the court until one Nadal return took a bad bounce and the ball skidded under Simons racket. On the next point, Simon then hurried a volley at the net, patting it straight back to Nadal, who clipped a passing shot that forced Simon to chop a backhand volley into the net at full stretch. "That was the most important (moment) because I know after that I play with new balls," Nadal said. "That is better for me because the bounces are higher and more favourable for me, and with the wind in my favour." Simon missed all seven chances he had to break Nadals serve. Nadal clinched victory on his first match point when he held for love. The wind was swirling less when Nadal played, but Djokovic and Berdych were caught up in the thick of it. "The wind blew all the clay from the court. It was like a hard court today," Djokovic said. Berdych felt he was impeded from playing his best tennis. "Sometimes you can play when its windy. But actually this kind of wind was kind of like there was circles around," he said. "You never know from where its going to come. For my game, it was just, you know, a bit of a killer because I like to play aggressive." Djokovic closed out the match on his serve and clenched both fists before shouting, "Come on!" Berdych had sent Andy Murray scampering to all parts of the court in Fridays quarterfinal, and Djokovic felt the full weight of the Berdych forehand in the first set as the Czech reeled off four consecutive games to fight back from 4-2 down. Djokovic was driven to frustration, and lost his temper, but he still made Berdych save a break point to serve out the set. Djokovic improved to 9-1 against the Czech after their first meeting on clay. In doubles play, Torontos Daniel Nestor and partner Max Mirnyi of Belarus reached the final with a 4-6, 6-4, 10-5 win over Serb Nenad Zimonjic and Frances Michael Llodra. ' ' '
