Haas a little unlucky with the net cord and just missing an easy drop volley...Two very close points...Good game by Verdasco...nice match.

Yeah it is a shame. He had each of the first 3 sets won. Only in the 5th set was he truly outplayed. A match like this one certainly does nothing to make me reconsider my earlier comments that Verdasco isnt really looking like a keeper in the top 10 at all.

Yes he should have, he was serving for the set in both the 2nd and 3rd sets and had a set point the the 3rd set TB. Tommy just can't keep it together and close out sets/matches.

I feel awful for Haas.
Yeah me too. I really wanted Haas to have some more GS success ala Wimbledon.

would you please explain to me, is it necesarry to have set points in the 2nd and the 3rd to deserve to win the match, or you can have a set point in the 4th and 5th to deserve to win the match,or you can have a set point in any stage of the match but lose the set and eventualy the match to deserve to win the match?

IMO Haas played better for most of the match and outplayed Verdasco. Same thing with Fed and Nadal in the AO final. IMO Fed outplayed Nadal for the first 4 sets yet won only 2 of them.
Monfils is a serious injury risk. Maybe gonzo or soderling, but I am still with verdasco here, he is more talented than soderling and he is younger than gonzo. I also don't see simon in the top 10 for very long his game requires too much effort. We will see soon enough.

I agree with you here. Nothing special about being in the lead in a set or two and losing. Happens all the time to guys ranked 20 in the world.

hardly, Verdasco earned most of his breakpoints and breaks with great shotmaking and winners and he made most of his UEs in the fourth
he even had better statistics at the net than Haas
his baseline game and passing shots were superior to Haases "brave attacking" which was mostly headless rushing to the net
serve and volley is dead,man!
taylor dent should retire

According to you Haas wasnt even executing his attacking plan that well and he still nearly won the match in 3 or 4 sets. That if anything would seem to indicate just how well truly good serve/volley tactics would work even in todays game.

how exactly is did you conclude this out of what i said?
i wasn't serious about the last two sentences(next time i'll use a smiley) and i wasn't pointing out that he executed his game plan badly, my view on serve on volley is that its headless rushing especially like the one exibited today because its just rushing the net without constructing the point
haas had a lot of good and some great volleys and half volleys but verdasco had better passing shots and whats even more important he pulled the off in the right moment,like at the end of the third
also from 1-3 down in the fifth verdasco was in a league of his own,cruising trough his service games and winning most of the points on his opponents serve
