- I could wait a little until the odds settle down but I do not see it going in my favour as most people will place their money on Haase in this match so I will be happy with early -175 line .
Preview from TennisInsight
Haase continued to enhance his giant killing reputation as he thrilled home crowd fans with a great win over one of the more talented and in form players on the tour in Andy Murray. Haase served particularly well, and showed good aggression on the return. He is still very young and tender and has some more work to do on his all court game, but he is really enjoying his tennis and loves to play up to the crowd. Berrer is a solid player who is the same height as Haase, and earns just as many cheap points off the big first ball as does the Dutchman. He is a lefty with a good single handed backhand, but does have a few glitches on the opposite forehand wing. The German is really up against it here with two big stats against him 1) Haase beat Berrer in a challenger in Berrer's home country 12 months ago after trailling a set when he was a real unknown, and 2) Haase has won his past four against lefties including 2 wins over Llodra and the big serving Dick Norman.
