Haas beats Rosol in 3 sets to reach Vienna final

Vienna: Robin Haase of the Netherlands upset top-seeded Jo-Wilfried Tsonga 7-5, 7-6 (4) on Saturday to set up a final against Tommy Haas at the Erste Bank Open.

Haase failed to serve out the match at 5-4 but won six of the last seven points in the tiebreaker against the eighth-ranked Frenchman.

The second-seeded Haas reached his third final of the season after rallying to beat Lukas Rosol of the Czech Republic 3-6, 6-4, 7-6 (0). The German, who won in Vienna in 2001, earned his 14th career title in Munich in May.

It will be Haase's fourth career final but first on hard court. The Dutchman won both his career titles in Austria - in Kitzbuehel in 2011 and '12. He lost the final in Gstaad, Switzerland in July.
