What A Backhand Haas Has!!!!!!!!!!

 

[AlexP]

Switched sides

Long exchange, haas drop shot, blake rushes in gets it back, gets a candle, gets a half volley at the net, then misses another candle by haas

5-3

6-3 Blake misses forehand I think

 

[jaggy]

Blakes losing it

 

[psamp14]

that point took it out of blake...haas now up 6-3 in the tiebreak, and 3 match points.
...this has been one phenomenal match

 

[tbini87]

i think blake literally just gave haas the match. that is sad.

 

[AlexP]

Blake returns in?

[tbini87]

good match, very exciting. too bad for blake but someone had to lose.

 

[jaggy]

What a way to finish

 

[mentalcase]

Congrats Haas

 

[psamp14]

back to back challenges....what a match, surely the match of the tournament thus far...

 

[shutupova]

Haas wins!
it seems that blake choked abit

 

[kngoPITT]

Awesome match. I actually guessed right this time with Haas in 5

 

[Service Ace]

And that monkey hops right back on James' back.

 

[tbini87]

And Blake solidifies his position as the most disappointing American tennis player of all time.

might have to agree. roddick isn't too far behind him... but we will see how he does against fed.

 

[veritech]

great end to the match. too bad blake's out, he was definitely the most exciting player to watch this USO.

 

[AlexP]

I was watching it at the beggining and it was dry playing, really picked up this last set. Great to watch, memorable finish, the crowd was really into it.

 

[Fedace]

Nikolai Davydenko is crying in JOY. You can book Nikolai into the semis now. Niko owns Haas whereas Blake owned Nikolai. do i know how to pick em or what??

 

[fleabitten]

grafrules should learn how to make it so you can't vote after the match has started. I just picked Haas in 5 to make a point - I'm so omnicient.

 

[Fedace]

that aerogel 300 sure is a good racket.

 

[fleabitten]

great end to the match. too bad blake's out, he was definitely the most exciting player to watch this USO.

eeeehhhhhhhh. really? hmmmm

 

[Jedi Knight]

Phenomenal play by Haas, although Blake dropping 4 or his 5 service points in the tiebreaker was not impressive.

 

[Breaker]

Ahh disappointing tiebreak for James but Haas deserved it after those great serves to save match points, great match with a somewhat disappointing ending.

 

[fleabitten]

Nikolai Davydenko is crying in JOY. You can book Nikolai into the semis now. Niko owns Haas whereas Blake owned Nikolai.

Dude, you are so right. Davy is in heaven. I picked him to the semis too.

 

[Polaris]

It is pretty amazing when a player hits a lob under pressure, and Haas came up with two amazing ones in the breaker.

Felt sorry for James in the end. He had it in the bag.

 

[Fedace]

Dude, you are so right. Davy is in heaven. I picked him to the semis too.

You can watch Niko dismantling Lee on www.channellsurfing.net;)

 

[flymeng]

It is nice to see either Haas or Blake win, both journeymen type player.
Gotta to wait another year to cheer for Blake.

 

[barry]

Great Match!

Does the J-Block section still get paid by Nike, even if James lost?

 

[THUNDERVOLLEY]

As I had hoped these two have redeemed what was one of the lamest Labor Day day sessions ever

Hardly. It was the misadventures of a bore (Haas) who could not get the job done by dragging out a match he should have won in 3 straight, considering how out-to-lunch Blake's mind was.

 

[lainey80]

Haas wins!!

I didn't ever want to admit, but I knew Haas would win. Tough loss for Blake. What a game, and Congrats to both.

 

[cucio]

Spanish commentators were praising how courageous both players were today, going for their shots without hesitation. Nice match at the end, but a lot of strange momentum shifts before it, where one of the players was zoning with the other meekly being owned. Did they rig the match and agreed on letting the last tie-break decide? j/k

 

[Ken B.]

Good match, too close for comfort. Haas, seek revenge on Davydenko for last year!

I like Blake, I usually root for him (unless he plays Federer, whom he automatically gives up on), but I hate the J-Block. To have those losers, who started clapping on faults and chanting the score, have nothing left to root for, that makes me feel good. I really wish James would do something about them. I've read his book, and it just seems that those rules he made are not being obligated.

A rematch has to be made for Davis Cup, if both teams get there.

Sorry Ken but Niko owns Tommy haas.

How is Haas a bore? His backhand alone has more personality than many people.
