Robin?
I don't understand why Haase ends up playing in singles when behind you had VDZ or De Jong, there is an explanation but I don't know it!
I might as well tell you that I was going for a good lay of Ofner in this first round but there was no way. He lost against Trungelliti and Neumayer recently, on a heavy clay like at Roland it is not at all to his advantage and yet we saw him have a good tournament a few weeks ago! He takes an active Haase in doubles but not in singles, only one victory for him in singles this season and it was against Koolhof (doubles player without ranking in singles). I liked Haase before on grass or hard, he can serve really well and play interesting tennis, yes but before. Now he is 37 years old, does not play singles at this level anymore and above all I do not find him very good on clay. He does not move very well, hurts less on the first shots and for once it is Ofner who will have the physical advantage I think! The Austrian is a big favorite but he is not the player on whom we want to bet when he is generally a favorite..
