HAAS BEATS DJOKOVIC IN HALLE

Tommy Haas won his first title in more than two years when he beat world number four Novak Djokovic 6-3 6-7 6-1 in the Halle tournament final on Sunday.

Haas, a former world number two who had not won a title since Memphis in 2007 after being plagued by a shoulder injury, was the more consistent in a baseline encounter that lasted two hours 12 minutes.

"It is such a great feeling to hold a trophy again," said Haas, who has now won titles on all surfaces. "It makes all the setbacks go away.
