MONTREAL -- Milos Raonic came out on top of the all-Canadian semifinal at the mens Rogers Cup, but now comes the real test -- Rafael Nadal. The power-hitting right-handers cliffhanger 6-4, 1-6, 7-6 (4) victory over Vasek Pospisil on Saturday made him the first Canadian to reach the final of his countrys biggest tournament since Robert Bedard won it for the third time in 1958. It will be Raonics first final in the Master series, a level of ATP tournament just below the grand slams. The other semifinal was a gem of speed and skill, as Nadal ended Novak Djokovics two-year reign as Rogers Cup champion with 6-4, 3-6, 7-6 (2) victory. Nadal will be seeking a third title after winning in 2005 and 2008. It had drama, as Djokovic wasnt pleased at all to be accidentally hit in the face by a Nadal cross-court shot in the third set, but there was no harm done. The two traded shots evenly until the third-set tiebreaker, when the crowd favourite Nadal took a 6-0 lead and later saw it end when Djokovic hit a groundstroke a tad long. "Milos is a fantastic player," Nadal said in a courtside interview. "I know him well. He has played a fantastic tournament here. "Im very happy for Canada to have two players in the semifinals." Raonic is 0-3 against Nadal in his career and has never won a set from the Spaniard. "Last time he gave me a whoopin in Barcelona," said Raonic. "It was a very different surface on clay. And at home for him, it was tough. "When I played him in 2010, I was like 200th in the world. I held my own to a certain extent, but he was a much, much better player than I was. In 2011, it was my first tournament back from hip surgery. I think its a different situation this time around. "I have to try to play as much as I can on my terms. Im going to have to serve well. Thats always of highest importance. And Ive got to try of create opportunities for myself through aggressive tennis, rather than waiting for him to make errors." Raonics win will put him into the top-10 in world rankings -- a prestigious spot that only the very good ones ever achieve. "Theyre all very special, but I think the top-10 one stands out more just because its a goal that I set this year," the 22-year-old from Thornhill, Ont., said. "It looked a little bit difficult after how I played recently, but to do it here in Montreal is a relief and its a happy feeling." Meanwhile, it was a tough night for veteran Daniel Nestor of Toronto. He and Swedish partner Robert Lindstedt were thumped 6-3, 6-0 in a semifinal against Wimbledon champion Andy Murray and Colin Fleming. Djokovic and Nadal met for the 36th time, tying the record for the Open Era set by John McEnroe and Ivan Lendl. Nadal leads the head-to-head series (21-15), and cut Djokovics lead on hardcourts at to 11-6. Nadal has won seven tournaments this year, but only one so far on a hardcourt. Still, the king of clay courts is 8-0 on the hard surface. Pospisil, in his best ATP Tour showing, earned $128,960 and 360 rankings points for reaching the semis, which will push his ranking from its current 71st to about No. 40. That completes the Vernon, B.C., natives goal for this year of reaching the top-50. On the court, both played nervously at first and it turned into a serving battle, with few interesting rallies until the final point of the third-set tiebreaker to decide the match. Raonic stretched to get to a Pospisil shot at the net, forcing his opponent to make a lunging volley that went into the net. "I was winning most of the points from the baseline once the rallies were started," said Pospisil. "The tiebreak got away from me a little bit there at the end, a couple of loose points. "But I went for it. No regrets. I didnt want to lose the match playing defensively. I tried to go for it even with the nerves that there were. This time it didnt work out, but thats the right way for me to go." The two Canadians have been playing each other since they were in under-14 tournaments, but while Raonic has used his big serve to shoot up the rankings in recent years, Pospisil has taken a slower route. He has caught fire of late, however, winning a Challenger series tournament last week in Vancouver, then posting three wins at the Rogers Cup, including his first win over a top-20 player (John Isner) and his first over a top-10 (Tomas Berdych). It ended against Raonic, who has been struggling since he won in San Jose in the spring and is now working with a new coach. Now the Davis Cup teammates may become rivals on the ATP Tour. "For my sake, I hope well see each other a lot more," said Pospisil. "That will mean Ill keep up the good form. "I dont see why not because Ive been doing really well the last couple months." The centre court crowd had been on its feet for Canadian players all week, but with two playing each other, the partisan clapping and chanting between points was gone. And there was little to get excited about in the first set, as Raonic had the only service break for a 3-2 lead just after Pospisil let two break points get away. "Early on we were both pretty nervous," said Pospisil. "It wasnt the moment. "It was the fact I was playing Milos. Its probably a little bit the same for him. We played each other so many times. We grew up together. I dont think either one wanted to lose." It all went Pospisils way in the second set as he broke twice for 2-0 and 5-1 leads against a suddenly listless Raonic. Pospisil punctuated set point with a leaping fist pump. Raonic took a restroom break after the set and came back with a strong service game and the two held service through to the tiebreaker. "I had so much bottled up inside of me that it was stopping me from playing my best tennis," said Raonic. "I sort of yelled at myself, got a lot of emotions out, told myself if this is going to happen, its going to be me going out there and pushing as much as I can. "The first game, I started serving 20 km/h harder. I told myself that Ive got to leave it all out there." They were the first Canadians to reach the semifinals of the tournament -- once called the Canadian Open -- since Mike Belkin lost to American Cliff Richey. The last time two Canadians were in the semifinals of an ATP Tour event was in 1990 at Rio de Janeiro, where Andrew Sznajder lost in the final and Martin Wostenholme was beaten in the semis. The Djokovic-Nadal match was another level of tennis entirely, as the current and former world No. 1s exchanged fast-paced, often spectacular rallies. Pospisil earned entry into next weeks tournament in Cincinnati, where he will face Frenchman Gilles Simon in the first round. Raonic is seeded 12th and will play American Jack Sock.

Dustin Pedroia and the Boston Red Sox backed Dempster with a season-high 20 hits, giving him an early cushion that kept getting bigger in an 11-4 victory over the Colorado Rockies. Pedroia drove in four runs on three hits and a sacrifice fly. Mike Napoli added two RBIs and every Boston batter finished with at least one hit. Jacoby Ellsbury, Daniel Nava and Jose Iglesias had three hits apiece as the Red Sox built a big lead for Dempster after scoring just two runs in his past two starts combined. Dempster (5-8) allowed two runs and six hits over six innings, leaving with an 8-2 lead and picking up his first victory since June 9. "We have an incredible offence. So you just go out there and worry about doing your job. Its just making pitches and executing pitches," Dempster said. "The wins come as a team more than an individual. Thats all I care about is that when I start, we win the game. I want to give us a chance to win the game and was able to do that tonight. And we put up a lot of runs." Dempster got himself in and out of trouble in the first, walking Dexter Fowler to lead off the game. DJ LeMahieus attempt at a sacrifice bunt turned into an infield single as it rolled toward third base without a Boston player fielding it. Dempster got Carlos Gonzalez to pop out to third, then Michael Cuddyer grounded into a double play to end the threat. "I thought the key was in the first inning," Red Sox manager John Farrell said. Boston responded with two runs on three hits in the bottom of the first and led the rest of the way. The Red Sox had at least three hits in every inning until the fifth, when they finally went hitless but still got a runner on base on a two-out walk to David Ortiz. It was also the first inning in which Boston failed to score after roughing up Juan Nicasio (4-4) early. "Its a good hitting club," Colorado manager Walt Weiss said. "Youve really got to command your stuff with that lineup or they make you pay." Wilin Rosario had three hits for the Rockies, including a solo homer in the second all the way out of Fenway Park. Michael Cuddyer extended his career-best hitting streak to 22 games, longest in the majors this season, with a single in the fourth. He finished with two hits. But those were the high points for the Rockies in a game that lasted 3 hours, 40 minutes. Nicasio had his worst start of the season, lasting only 2 1-3 innings and allowing seven runs -- six earned -- on 12 hits.dddddddddddd He walked two and struck out two. He had never allowed more than eight hits in a start this season and the Red Sox had that matched after two innings, taking a 5-1 lead with a pair of runs in the first and three more in the second. "He looked like he struggled to find any rhythm or tempo tonight," Weiss said. "He was in bad counts and thats a tough lineup to get through when youre in bad counts. Youre sitting in fastball counts and they know youre throwing your fastball, they dont miss it." The Red Sox tagged Nicasio again in the third, ending his night after Pedroias RBI single gave Boston 12 hits with two outs still to go in the inning. Adam Ottavino inherited runners at first and second, but got the Rockies out of the jam by striking out Ortiz and getting Napoli on a fly to centre. Boston added a run in the fourth after Stephen Drew tripled to centre field on a hit he thought was a home run when it bounced high off the top of the wall. The umpires ruled the ball was in play and Drew was stuck briefly at third. The umpires spent several minutes looking at video replays before returning to the field and signalling that it was going to stay a triple. Boston fans booed loudly at the call, but quickly forgot about it when Iglesias doubled to left and Drew trotted home to increase the lead to 8-2. Nolan Arenado had three hits and an RBI for the Rockies. Dempsters only glaring mistake came in the second inning on a 3-1 slider to Rosario, who drove it out of Fenway Park for his 12th home run of the season. The solo shot cleared the Green Monster in left field and all the signs above it, landing in a raised parking lot across the street. "I didnt see it," Dempster said. "I think it hit a car on the turnpike, probably. It happens." NOTES: The Red Sox topped their 19 hits in a 17-5 rout of Texas on June 4. ...
