Tommy Haas 2013 Champion With Federer As Runner Up

Federer's Draw:
As he is top seeded player he will enjoy first round bye at this tournament.  In the second round his possible opponent may be German wild card holder C Stebe or a qualifier. In the Quarterfinals he can face Polish veteran Jerzy Janowicz.  In the semi finals he will face last year's defending champion Tommy Haas.  Haas is home favourite and beat Federer last year to win the title.  In the final he can face Kie Nishikori or Richard Gasquet.

Expectations:
Federer is facing worst season of career so far.  Because for the first time since 2000 he is going to Halle without title.  This title can give him confidence that he needed for Wimbledon 2013 where he is a defending champion.
