2007 US OPEN
4th Round
TOMMY HAAS v JAMES BLAKE
4-6, 6-4, 3-6, 6-0, 7-6
10th seed Tommy Haas
saved three match points before beating sixth seed James Blake in a gripping
final-set tie-break to reach the quarter-finals.
American Blake looked to be cruising at a set and a break up but German Haas
fought back to level the match.
Blake took the third set but then began to tire as Haas suddenly hit a purple
patch to reel off eight straight games
"I tried to stay calm and fight for every point," said Haas. "It's great. To be
in the quarter-final once again is an awesome feeling."
Blake said: "He served great when I had match points, made every first serve. I
had chances in the breaker and didn't take them."
Haas moves on to play Davydenko, the same opponent that beat him at last year's US Open.
