Federer Survives Haas Scare At Halle Semi Final


The top seed and last year runner up at Gerry Weber Open survived a huge test against home favourite and defending champion Tommy Haas.  Tommy Haas defeated Federer last year to clinch this title.  But Federer managed to make second final of the season in the rematch of the last year.

Look At The Hunger To Win It More

Federer beat Haas by 3-6 6-3 6-4   The whole match was very tricky one.  In the first set Tommy Haas served ahead and only one break was necessary to close out the set by 6-3.  In this set Haas saved all three break points that he faced.  In the second set Federer came back strong as it was expected.  He got early break to get 2-0 lead and consolidated his break to get 3-0 lead.  In the second set Federer brought a change in his game.  He used the net very effectively and produced a lot of volley winners.  That early break by Federer was enough to decide the second set.  He leveled the match by taking the second set by 6-3.
