Roger Federer the top seed at Gerry Weber Open has qualified for second final of the season.  He beat defending champion and home favourite Tommy Haas in a rematch of last year's final.  Last year Tommy Haas beat Federer in straight sets to take the title.  It was only defeat of Federer at Grass in 2012.  This year Federer handled Haas in best possible manner to qualify for the final.

Roger Federer beat Tommy Haas when he was a set down by 3-6 6-3 6-4.  He was reached into the semis by recording a double bagle against another German Zverev.  So he was so much confident, and it was expected that he will handle Tommy Haas comfortably.  But Tommy proved it wrong and streched Federer to the limits.  Haas served first in the opening set and only one break was enough to clinch the that set by 6-3.  In this set Haas saved three break points to take this set in 40 minutes.

After losing the first set, last year's repetition was expected by tennis fans, but Federer regained his focus and got an early break in second set to get 2-0 lead.  Immediately after he hold his serve to get 3-0 lead and  got strong grip in the second set.  He used net very effectively right from the start of second set, which changed the whole dynamics of the match.  After getting this break Federer continued to hold serve until Haas was serving to stay in the set.  Federer was 40-15 up and had two set points on Haas serve but Haas put two huge first serves in which Federer only managed to touch and hold his serve to force Federer to serve it out and Federer did it to level the match by taking set 6-3.

Heavy Forehand Against Tommy In Semis

In the deciding set the momentum was clearly in the favour of top seed.  He made full use of that momentum and got early break again to get 2-1 and then 3-1 lead.  Tommy tried his best to break Federer serve but Federer's wide serves were untouchable.  Also his frequent use of net had no answer.  So Haas could not do anything axept holding his serve to get scoreboard to 5-4.  At last Federer served out the match and took victory in 1 hour and 38 minutes.  Next he will face Mikhail Youzhny against whome he never lost in his career.
