ROME -- Canadian Daniel Nestor and Serbian partner Nenad Zimonjic reached the doubles final of the Italian Open on Saturday as they beat top-seeded Bob and Mike Bryan for the second week in a row, advancing 7-6 (3), 4-6, 12-10. The sixth-seeded pair, who beat the Americans last week in the Madrid Masters final, needed one hour 39 minutes to complete the semifinal victory at the Foro Italico. "Today we were fortunate," said Nestor. "It was a tight match with both teams playing well. We both had chances but we found a way to win today. "It seems that against the Bryans right now, we can play our best against them when we have to." Nestor and Zimonjic will play an unseeded duo on Sunday. Robin Haase of the Netherlands and Spains Feliciano Lopez were to play Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov and Lukas Rosol of the Czech Republic in the late semifinal. Either way, it will be a first career meeting for the veteran duo of Nestor and Zimonjic. "Both teams are very dangerous, and weve struggled against teams we dont know much about," said Nestor. "We need to come to the court ready to play every point and not be satisfied with whats been going on for the last few weeks. "Our goal is to play well. If they are too good, well they are too good. If not, then we win a second title in a row." In the match tiebreak, Nestor and Zimonjic took a 6-3 lead only to give up three straight points. The Bryans blew a match point before Nestors team claimed victory on their second match point. The Canadian and his partner have won 26 titles as a team, including victories at Sydney and Madrid this season. They lost finals in Dubai and Barcelona. Nestor also won the Brisbane title alongside Mariusz Fyrstenberg of Poland in the opening week of the season. The Canadian is third with 84 career titles, trailing Mike Bryan (100) and Bob Bryan (98). The 41-year-old Canadian will be playing in his 140th career doubles final.

The wide receiver transferred from Kansas as a graduate student, making him eligible to play without sitting out for a season. In his four years at Kansas, the Jayhawks went 9-39. With a three-win season as the highlight, Turzilli never went to a bowl.Hes going to one now as Rutgers (7-5, 3-5 Big Ten) gets set to face North Carolina (6-6, 4-4 ACC) in the Quick Lane Bowl on Dec. 26 at Ford Field in Detroit.It still hasnt hit me yet just because we havent gotten there yet. We havent been to downtown Detroit, still practicing and stuff like that, Turzilli said. But again, just having that extra month to practice - if I was at my other school, again, Id be done. Just grateful to have the opportunity.In the bowl-clinching game against Indiana, Turzilli, who has a career-high 313 yards receiving and three touchdowns season, sustained a lower body injury. He has returned to practice after missing the final two games and is expected to play in the bowl game.Turzilli is just one part of a deep corps of receivers that includes Leonte Carroo and Andre Patton.Patton, a sophomore, was listed as the starter alongside Carroo during training camp. However, an upper-body injury sidelined him for the first month of the season. It took him thrree games back from injury to get his first catch of the season.ddddddddddddI felt I had to catch up a lot, Patton said. Especially when I came back after a month of not doing anything and trying to get back into it, it was hard, but a couple weeks into it I kind of felt my mojo again.Still, Patton was lacking that breakout performance. It came in the fine game of the regular season.The 6-foot-4, 200-pounder caught a career high eight catches for 101 yards and two touchdowns to help Rutgers rally from a 25-point deficit to defeat Maryland.I honestly didnt know when the time was going to come, Patton said. I was just patient and it happened to be in the last game.While it was a long-time coming, Pattons quarterback always knew the skill was there.Just a lot of athleticism. I think he was Mr. Basketball in the state of Delaware or something like that, so just a freak athlete, Gary Nova said. And I think once he starts to get it mentally, which hes starting to, he really has the talent to take off.For now, hes added another legitimate threat to Rutgers passing attack. Carroo is the focal point. He had 53 catches for 1,043 yards and 10 touchdowns.While its no secret Novas high school teammate Carroo is his favourite weapon, hes always looking for more.You can never have enough weapons out there, Nova said. So the more guys you get playing well ... With our full group of receivers we got some pretty good guys that can makes some plays.
