Came into the match during the second set to see Haas shanking backhands while his first serve was on a walkabout.
He seemed to let the rest of it go to Ferrer, who kept the ball deep and grinded away.
To start the third, Haas came out firing, especially with the backhand, but it did not last long. The two traded tons of breaks until Ferrer tightened it up on his own serve. Haas continued to play like crap. He completely came apart.
haas after many injurys and surgerys with 35 years old in the semis ( defeating the nº1) and against ferrer , a guy of federer generation but that in that time he was another x player and " specialist in clay"
how a clay court player like ferrer won his first masters1000 in indoor , and plays finals of WTF , shangai and miami???? or winning in grass too!!!!!!!!!!
and nadull`s tard pissed when I say that is the most patetic era in clay of all times.
the second best clay court specialist after nadal has his better archivements in hard and indoor!!!!
but this is this era , robost from the baseline running and returning , the good and classical tennis???? it`s dead.
I don`t know if roger`s era was weak or strong , but the tennis quality was much better , much more beatiful tennis with more faster corts.
ATP with his homogenization of the surfaces it`s killing tennis
Not if you have the sneaking suspicion that Nadal will be drawn in Ferrer's quarter, or Federer's quarter, or Murray's quarter...basically, any quarter that does not contain Djokovic. Business as usual for Nadal.
As to the match, sad for Haas but a depressingly expected result. Not looking forward to a rather dull final between Ferrer and Murray, neither of whom have the game to set the world on fire, let's say.
Very predictable match. Haas plays well for a set but Ferrer grinds him into submission. Haas couldn't get a 1st serve in to save his life and when he did Ferrer returned them deep
and he had people behind Haas making fun of his mistakes. Ferrer is disgusting and has 0 chance in the final. 0% chance of winning this tournament. The guy is a vulture... wins only when the top 4 can't
