Power, the former world champion and tournament second-seed, scored an 11-5, 11-9, 9-11, 11-6 victory and avenged a lost in the 2006 nationals final.

''I want to win every time I go on the court, I can't get rid of that,'' said Power, who retired from the pro circuit in 2006 and plays only for Canada at world championships and at nationals. ''I didn't play to bad and I hung in there. I was surprised to win considering the long lay off. But I managed to control most of the play.''

Robin Clarke of Ottawa placed third.

In the women's final, Miller cruised to victory over 10th seed Alexandra Norman of Montreal 9-1, 9-2, 9-3. It's a third career national title for Miller. Norman produced an unexpected run to the championship final which included victories over the third-seed and seventh seed.

''I think Alexandra got a bit nervous playing in her first final,'' said Miller. ''I saw her semifinal match and she played a lot tougher. I feel fortunate to have gotten through 3-0 because I know she can play better than that. I played pretty good, it's a good way for me to start a busy summer season.''

Tara Mullins of Montreal defeated Laura Gemmell of Toronto 9-6, 9-1, 9-0 for third place.
