HAASE STUNS THIEM
DUTCHMAN Robin Haase shocked second seed Dominic Thiem 6-3, 7-6(7) yesterday to reach the Halle Open quarterfinals and leave the Wimbledon warmup event without one of its biggest attractions. The Austrian world No. 8 struggled with Haase’s consistency throughout and missed two set points in the second set before double-faulting on his opponent’s first match point.
