HALLE, Germany -- Wild card Tommy Haas defeated five-time winner Roger Federer 7-6 (5), 6-4 on Sunday to win the Gerry Weber Open for the second time. Colin Kaepernick Jersey . It was Federers first loss to a German since Nicolas Kiefers semifinal win, also in Halle, 10 years ago. "If someone had told me beforehand that Id win the title here against probably the greatest player of all time I would not have believed it," said Haas, a former second-ranked player whose career has been blighted by injuries. Now ranked 87th, Haas was the oldest player in the singles draw at 34. He recovered from losing his serve in the opening game of the match, and broke decisively in the ninth game of the second set. "Im very impressed with how he played today," Federer said. "Tommy deserved to win." The second-seeded Federer was bidding for his fifth tour title of the season and 75th overall. It was Haas first win over his good friend in 10 attempts, and his third overall against the 16-time Grand Slam champion from 13 meetings. "It was a long time coming since I had the chance to get to that point," said Haas, who started the season outside the top 200. "Its my 13th title ... Its probably up there (as the best), if not the sweetest one, especially considering the injuries." Haas broke to lead 5-4 after a lengthy rally featuring lobs, chips and a drop shot, following two unforced errors in succession from Federer that allowed him to force deuce. Haas last won the grass-court tournament in 2009, beating Novak Djokovic in the final. He hadnt appeared in a final since then, so nerves perhaps played a role in his loss of serve in the first game. Both players had only been broken once this week. Federer missed another break point in the fifth game to leave the score at 3-2. Haas levelled by breaking in the next after Federer uncharacteristically hit a simple return into the net. Haas missed two break chances with the score at 5-4 to win the set, sending a return long and not dealing with another. Federer eventually won the game with his fifth ace to level at 5-5. "I should never have lost the first set, so that hurt. He got momentum after that," Federer said. The Swiss managed a mini-break in the tiebreaker on Haas first serve, but the German came back to establish a 4-2 lead. A fan of Haas called for him to fire an ace, and there was a huge roar from the crowd when he duly obliged to move the score to 5-3. Another mini-break put the German in a position to win the set, and he didnt let it slip. "If I thought about it, this would be the perfect way to say goodbye to tennis. Beating Roger, my 13th title. It would be perfect. But Im not ready mentally," Haas said. "I hope the body holds up for many years to go. I love to play." It was the first final in the 20-year history of the tournament to feature two players aged 30 or older. "Im just really happy for him ... happy that hes been able to fight off so many injuries and come back and still believe in himself, still want to travel, still want to sacrifice his family (life) too," said the 30-year-old Federer. Federers only previous Halle final loss was in 2010 to Lleyton Hewitt. Colin Kaepernick White Jersey .C. -- Connecticuts Andre Drummond and Kansas Thomas Robinson have worked out for Charlotte as the Bobcats make their evaluations before the June 28 NBA draft. Vernon Davis Jersey .Y. -- Veteran cornerback Terrence McGee was placed on season-ending injured reserve and receiver Marcus Easley was promoted off the practice squad Tuesday after the Buffalo Bills made a series of moves to address their banged-up roster. http://www.shop49ersfans.com/justin-smith-jersey . Athletic director Jeff Hammond announced in a statement released by the school that Johnson would not return after a miserable 0-12 season that ended with a loss to Memphis on Saturday. Justin Smith Black Jersey . The move gave Alvarez his team-leading 16th quality start of the year but Torontos bullpen couldnt get him the win as New York rallied for a 9-6 victory at Rogers Centre on Sunday. Aldon Smith Elite Jersey . Neither does general manager David Poile, who says he has a "comfortable" working relationship with his coach.Travis Lulay was ranked No. 49 in last years CFL Top 50 Players list; a Grey Cup MVP and Most Outstanding Player award equaled a steep climb up the rankings for the 28-year-old BC Lions QB. Lulay ranks No. 1 in this years edition of the CFL Top 50 Players list. A year after guiding the Lions to a Grey Cup victory, the four-year veteran from Montana State received 19 of 25 first place votes to top the list. Last years No. 1 Anthony Calvillo fell to No. 3 on this years list, his Montreal Alouettes teammate Jamel Richardson leapfrogging him for the No. 2 spot. Richardson and Calvillo were the only members in last years top 10 to once again make it this year. The top five was rounded out by another Alouette, RB Brandon Whitaker at No. 4 and last years Most Outstanding Defensive Player Jovon Johnson of the Winniipeg Blue Bombers at No. Andy Lee Jersey. 5. Calgary Stampeders RB Jon Cornish was the only unranked player from last years list to crack the Top 10, coming in at No. 10. The Canadian took over for longtime Stamps RB Joffrey Reynolds in the starting lineup, rushing for 863 yards and nine touchdowns. A total of 16 newcomers made the list this year, including Cornish. Two BC Lions, OL Jovan Olafioye and DT Khalif Mitchell were the next highest rated fresh faces, coming in at No. 14 and No. 16 respectively. The Lions had the most players of any team to make the Top 50 with 13, followed by the Alouettes with eight and the Hamilton Tiger-Cats with seven. The list was compiled from votes by a group of 25 experts which included TSN commentators and analysts and several league writers from across Canada. ' ' ' |
