Edinburgh bounced back from last weeks disappointing defeat to Zebre with a 28-17 Guinness PRO12 victory over Ulster at BT Murrayfield.The hosts were evidently desperate to atone for the previous weeks shock defeat and by half-time had established a 21-3 advantage through tries from Villiame Mata and Damien Hoyland, a conversion from Jason Tovey and a penalties from Blair Kinghorn and Duncan Weir (2).Magnus Bradbury then crossed after the interval with Tovey adding a second conversion. Ruan Pienaar kicked a first-half penalty for Ulster before converting second-half tries from Aaron Cairns and Jacob Stockdale and adding a penalty.With two minutes on the clock, Tovey almost sidestepped his way through the Ulster defence and when he was thwarted, Sean Kennedy fed the ball back to Mata, who crashed through two tackles to touch down and Tovey converted.The hosts continued to dominate and claimed a second try of the evening after nine minutes. Mata was again involved and when he was foiled, Kinghorn was hauled down just short but Hoyland was alert to the opportunity and picked up to plunge over.Tovey failed with the conversion attempt, but the momentum remained with Edinburgh and Kinghorn added three more points with a sweetly struck long-range penalty in the 16th minute.Ulster had been infrequent visitors to the home half but with 24 minutes played they earned a penalty 30 metres out and Pienaar was on target to get them on the board.Weir, who had just come on as a temporary replacement for Tovey, responded almost immediately, rifling a penalty between the sticks from close range.?The replacements next involvement was to have a kick charged down. But fortunately Kinghorn raced back to avert the danger as the ball ricocheted over the Edinburgh line.Weir shrugged off that error to make another positive contribution when he added three more points to complete the first-half scoring.Ulster made a lively start to the second period but handling errors and one bone-juddering tackle by Kinghorn prevented the visitors from capitalising on their spell in charge.And the home side capitalised on that failure seven minutes into the half when Cornell Du Preez broke from a scrum inside the Edinburgh half and fed Kennedy.He in turn released Mike Allen whose pass set Bradbury free for an impressive try which Tovey converted. Ulster responded with a powerful surge from Tommy Bowe who was held up over the line by Du Preez.The visitors thought they had clawed back five points when Charles Piatau raced onto a clever chip by Pienaar. However, to the displeasure of the Irish contingent in the 5,336 crowd, the referee ruled that he had not controlled the ball as he touched down.Edinburgh defended well for the next 10 minutes but their luck eventually ran out when Paul Marshall chipped ahead and Cairns out-muscled Tovey to pluck the ball out of the air and touch down. Pienaars conversion cut the deficit to 18 points.?The Irishmen gave themselves a glimmer of hope -- at least of a four-try bonus if not a win -- with eight minutes to play when Stockdale raced onto a flip pass from Rob Herring and darted in for a try which Pienaar again converted.

"We had to dig deep with our fighting spirit and weve done that," United striker Wayne Rooney said.Paris, France (Sports Network) - Seven-time champion Rafael Nadal outlasted world No. 1 Novak Djokovic in an epic five-set semifinal, while David Ferrer landed in his first-ever Grand Slam final with a big victory of his own Friday at the French Open. The third-seeded former No. 1 Nadal held off his great rival Djokovic 6-4, 3-6, 6-1, 6-7 (3-7), 9-7 in a pulsating 4-hour, 37-minute affair to reach his eighth French Open final in nine years. "I was ready for the fight," Nadal said. "I really fought a lot." A fourth-seeded Ferrer, meanwhile, won Fridays semifinal nightcap with a mostly one-sided 6-1, 7-6 (7-3), 6-2 victory over sixth-seeded heavy French favorite and former Australian Open runner-up Jo-Wilfried Tsonga on the famed red clay at Stade Roland Garros. In a match that featured two of tennis greatest players, Djokovic and Nadal did not disappoint on a hot, breezy, sun-drenched Day 13 of the fortnight. The two stars only intensified their great rivalry, piling up the winners with bludgeoned forehands, fierce two-handed backhands, and deft volleys. The deciding 82-minute fifth set opened with a service break by the six-time Grand Slam champion Djokovic and the two stalwarts then stayed on serve until the eighth game, when Nadal finally broke back to even the stanza at 4-all. A frustrated Djokovic was called for both a time violation and net violation in that key game. The marathon fifth was ultimately decided in the 16th game, when Nadal stunned Djokovic by breaking the strapping Serb at love when Djokovic misfired long on one final forehand on Nadals first match point at a jam-packed Court Chatrier. "It has been an unbelievable match to be part of, but all I can feel now is disappointment," Djokovic said. "I wanted this title so much." The classic win gave Nadal an amazing 58-1 record at the French Open, with his only loss coming against Swede Robin Soderling in the fourth round back in 2009. "I congratulate Novak," Nadal told the crowd. "Hes a very great champion. He will win here at Roland Garros another year." The Australian Open champion Djokovic, donning a white cap on Friday, managed to stay alive in a 58-minute fourth set, one in which Nadal was two points away from reaching a fourth straight final in Paris. Nadal broke for a 4-3 lead in the fourth, but the advantage was short-lived, as the Serb broke right back and then held for a 5-4 edge. Nadal then held and got another break for a 6-5 lead and then tried to serve out the match. He appeared on his way to do just that after crushing a pair of brilliant forehand winners for a 30-15 lead to again put himself just two points away from the finale. But the ever-resilient Djokovic would not be denied, as he charged back to take that 12th game via break, setting the stage for a tiebreak. Djokovic dominated the tiebreak, which came to a close when the formidable Serb swatted a forehand into Nadals feet that the Spaniard could only scoop into the net. Earlier in the bout, Nadal tallied the lone break of the first set en route to victory before Djokovic officially got into the match by cruising in the second. Djokovic was down a set and trailing 2-3 in the second before a paiir of breaks helped him grab a 5-3 lead and a hold secured the stanza for the Serbian star, who won the last four games of the second to level the encounter.dddddddddddd The third set then was all Nadal, as the mighty Mallorcan rolled out to a 5-0 lead before settling for a 6-1 win. Nadal wound up with eight breaks of serve on Friday, compared to five for the hard-luck loser Djokovic, who tallied 31 more unforced errors (75-44) than his Spanish counterpart. "Thats why hes a champion," Djokovic said. "Thats why hes been ruling Roland Garros for many years, and for me its another year." The 11-time Grand Slam champion Nadal beat the Serbian slugger Djokovic in last years French Open final to secure a third straight and mens-record seventh overall Roland Garros title. He is trying to become the first man to win eight titles at the same Grand Slam event. The reigning Aussie Open champion Djokovic still needs a French Open title to complete a career Grand Slam. The 27-year-old Nadal is now 20-15 lifetime against the 26-year-old Djokovic, who beat the Spaniard in an ATP Masters final in Monte Carlo in April. Nadal, however, is now 7-3 in their Grand Slam meetings, including a perfect 5-0 mark at Roland Garros. Their previous 11 meetings on tour had all come in finals. Ferrer, meanwhile, dismissed Tsonga in just over two hours, breaking the Frenchman six times while Tsonga settled for only two breaks in the setback. Tsonga piled up 35 more unforced errors (56-21). The gritty Ferrer managed to handle Tsonga, who was playing in his first-ever French Open semi, and improve to 3-1 lifetime against the Frenchman. Tsonga won their previous lone Grand Slam meeting in the fourth round at Wimbledon two years ago. Ferrer, who wound up breaking Tsonga to wrap up the Day 13 festivities, has won all 18 of his sets at this Parisian fortnight after converting on his first match point Friday when Tsonga shot long on one final forehand. The 31-year-old Ferrer is now 1-5 in his career major semifinals and will appear in that elusive Grand Slam final on Sunday. Tsonga appeared in his fifth career Grand Slam semi (1-4) and was the first French mens French Open semifinalist since Gael Monfils in 2008. He was trying to become the first French mens French Open finalist since Henri Leconte in 1988 and first French mens champion since Yannick Noah in 1983. Nadal will appear in his ninth final in nine tournaments in 2013, seeking a seventh title. He owns 56 career championships in 79 finals. The left-hander missed this years Aussie and last years U.S. Open while recovering from a knee injury. Ferrer will appear in his 39th career final, seeking a 21st title. Hes 2-3 in his 2013 finals, including a loss against Nadal in Acapulco back in March. The 5-foot-9 Ferrer has reached at least the semis in five of the last seven Slams. Nadal is a dominant 19-4 lifetime against Ferrer, including 3-0 this year. Ferrer, however, is 2-2 versus his compatriot at the majors, but Nadal is 2-0 in their matchups here at Roland Garros. The last all-Spanish French Open final came in 2002, when Albert Costa upended former world No. 1 Juan Carlos Ferrero. The 2013 French Open champ will claim $1.97 million. ' ' '
