Federer [3] had won nine consecutive matches against Haas [87] and another win seemed in the process of making as he led 3:1* (40/30) in the 1set set. The 34-year-old German “wild card” played a great baseline rally then and turned the tables. In the 2nd set Federer squandered five game points at 4-all. “If someone had said before that I was going to beat Roger Federer, probably the best player of all time, I would have thought they were mad,” Haas said. “This has been one of the best weeks of my career but I reckon I won’t really appreciate what’s happened until this evening.”
Haas’ route to his 13th title:
1 Bernard Tomic 5-2 ret.
2 Marcel Granollers 6-3, 6-4
Q Tomas Berdych 6-4, 3-6, 7-5
S Philipp Kohlschreiber 7-6(5), 7-5
W Roger Federer 7-6(5), 6-4
