Rome, Italy (Sports Network) - Make it 8-for-8. Rafael Nadal has played eight tournaments this year and has now reached the final in each one after a straight-set win over Tomas Berdych in Saturdays semifinals at the Italian Masters. The fifth-seeded Spaniard needed just 78 minutes in a 6-2, 6-4 romp Saturday and will play two-time Rome runner-up Roger Federer in Sundays marquee finale. Nadal has won five of his first seven events in 2013, a season that didnt start until February after his seven-month layoff because of a knee injury. He lost to unheralded Argentine Horacio Zeballos in the final at Vina del Mar to start his year, then won titles in Sao Paolo, Acapulco and Indian Wells before a loss to Novak Djokovic in the Monte Carlo finale. He has followed that wins in Barcelona and Madrid. The 11-time Grand Slam champion appears to be in superior form heading to the French Open, which he has dominated with seven titles in eight years, and will try to capture the Rome crown for a seventh time. He is 40-2 all-time at Foro Italico, winning titles previously in 2005-07, 2009-10 and again last year. Nadal had little trouble Saturday, breaking serve twice in the opening set while losing just one point on his own serve. He then broke Berdych at love in the ninth game of the second set and closed it out in the next game. The victory gave Nadal a 14-3 lifetime mark against Berdych, including 5-0 on clay. The two also met in the quarterfinals of this event last year. Berdych had beaten two-time Rome champ Djokovic in the quarterfinals on Friday to deny a rematch of last years final between the world No. 1 Serb and Nadal. Nadal, on Sunday, will try for his 56th career title overall and his 41st on clay. He is currently tied with Thomas Muster for the second-most clay titles, trailing only Guillermo Vilas 45. Federer, meanwhile, battled past Frenchman Benoit Paire 7-6 (7-5), 6-4 to reach his first final of the year. Sundays match will mark the 30th meeting between the two rivals and second this year. Nadal cruised to a 6-4, 6-2 win in the quarterfinals at Indian Wells to improve to 19-10 against the Swiss superstar. Nadal also won the only previous meeting between the two in Rome, a 6-7 (0-7), 7-6 (7-5), 6-4, 2-6, 7-6 (7-5) best-of-five thriller in the 2006 finale. The two havent met in a final since Nadals four-set triumph in the 2011 French Open. This weeks big winner will earn $650,000.Wholesale Cowboys Jerseys .

Instead, hes thrown more interceptions (13) than touchdowns (12) and has often failed to move the offense.So now the question for the Texans (6-5) is if Osweiler can improve and help Houston secure a playoff berth? Osweiler threw three interceptions on Sunday against the Chargers as Houston lost for the second straight week. Despite their recent tough stretch the Texans remain one-half game ahead of Tennessee in the AFC South.Coach Bill OBrien scoffed at the notion of benching Osweiler on Sunday and refused to criticize his quarterback on Monday. He also lamented that quarterbacks and head coaches take the brunt of the criticism when teams are struggling.Could Brock have done some things better? Absolutely, OBrien said about Sunday. Could the offensive line have played better? Could I have coached better? Absolutely. Its a team sport. Brock is our starting quarterback and thats the way it is.He wasnt interested in breaking down the play of his quarterback, snapping when asked areas in which Osweilers made progress and places he needs to improve.Im not going to dissect ... each player (and) what areas they need to do a better job in, he said. I mean, we could be here all day. Every player on our team -- we have a great locker room. Theyre all looking to improve in any way that they can.Though OBrien blamed Houstons offensive struggles on a variety of things, including his coaching, the numbers paint a clear picture of Osweilers trouble. Expectations were high for Osweiler when Houston signed him to a $72 million contract this offseason to lure him away from Denver. Hes had moments when hes looked good, but his inconsistent play has made it difficult to understand why the Texans invested so much in him.Houston ranks 31st by aaveraging 195.dddddddddddd9 yards passing a game and Osweilers 13 interceptions are tied for most in the NFL. He hasnt had much success throwing downfield and has completed just two passes of 40 yards or longer. His 22 completions of 20 yards or longer are tied for 28th in the NFL. Hes averaging just 5.8 yards a completion, which is not much more than running back Lamar Miller is averaging a carry (4.2).Osweiler has one of the worst passer ratings in the NFL among starters at 72.2. His rating isnt even close to the likes of Tom Brady (116.7), Matt Ryan (114.3) or even Dallas rookie Dak Prescott (108.6).While OBrien downplayed Osweilers role in Houstons loss to the Chargers, the quarterback was quick to accept blame for letting the game get away.Obviously, (Sunday) did not go the way we wanted it to, Osweiler said. Im going to put that on my shoulders. I believe our team played great football, but I did not. I know we can accomplish what we want to, and well keep plugging away.Despite his acknowledgment that his play was a big reason for Sundays loss, his teammates remain confident in his ability to help Houston wrap up a second straight division title.No matter whats being said about him outside of here, he comes in with the same attitude and the same positivity every day, left tackle Duane Brown said. So, hes a great leader. We definitely have a lot of confidence in him.Osweiler and the Texans get their next chance when they begin a two-game stretch on the road with a trip to Green Bay. Theyll look to win just their second road game this season when they meet the Packers after losing four of five away from Houston so far.---For more NFL coverage: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
