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. 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. Haase held off four set points for Tsonga in the opening set. The 63rd-ranked Dutchman 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, who had his left knee taped. "He was a bit injured and that made me nervous," said Haase, who had lost his last 14 matches against top-10 opponents since beating Andy Murray in Rotterdam in 2008. "You tend to keep the ball in play and wait for his mistakes," Haase said. "Later on, I managed to focus better on my own game." Tsonga declined to comment on his apparent injury and said he was going to prepare as usual for his upcoming events in Valencia and Paris. "I tried everything I could but it wasnt enough today," the Frenchman said. "I just didnt play well enough." It will be Haases fourth career final but first on a hard court. The Dutchman won both his career titles on clay in Austria — in Kitzbuehel in 2011 and 12. He lost the final in Gstaad, Switzerland three months ago. Haase has never played Haas before in an ATP event. "Maybe the referee should just call game Tommy and game Robin tomorrow," the Dutchman joked about their similar last names. Haas initially struggled for rhythm against the 44th-ranked Rosol, who hit 16 aces to raise his total for the tournament to 49 and conceded just two points on serve in the opening set. Haas couldnt convert his first break point at 3-2 but used his second to level the match. The final set went with serve before Haas dominated the tiebreaker. "I managed to play my best tennis on the big points and in the tiebreaker," Haas said. "That makes me very satisfied." The German led 6-0 when a penalty point for Rosol ended the match. After being warned earlier by referee Cedric Mourier, the Czech broke his racket by smashing it on the court. "Ive been on the circuit for 17 years but Ive never won a match without playing match point," the 35-year-old Haas said. Rosol was eyeing his second career final after winning his maiden title in Bucharest in April. Cheap Celtics Jerseys China .

They were expecting it to start on Friday, and the earlier date made for a busy day of preparations. The special teams unit was on the ice a half-hour early while the main practice went a full hour on Wednesday. "We werent really planning on playing a game (on Thursday), but it all works out better that way," said forward Max Pacioretty. "We were trying to cram in a bit of system stuff as well, so it was a good practice. "We found out (Tuesday) night. I like it better that way. Theres a little less time to think. Were jumping right back into the action. I think thats when I play my best hockey, when Im not thinking." The Canadiens have been idle since completing a sweep of the Tampa Bay Lightning on April 22. The Bruins finished off the Deetroit Red Wings in five games on Saturday.dddddddddddd Although the NHL had not released a schedule, Canadiens general manager Marc Bergevin mentioned a Friday start in a television interview this week. The opener was moved up reportedly because Northeastern University has graduation ceremonies at the TD Garden on Friday morning. Game 2 is expected to be played Saturday at 12:30 pm ET, although that has not been confirmed. Pacioretty likes that, too. "I like playing afternoon games," he said. "No meetings in the morning. Not thinking too much about the game. Just going out and playing." The Canadiens will have had eight days off between games. To break the monotony, they held a simulated game day on Monday, with a morning skate followed by an intra-squad game at night. Then they took Tuesday off. "Im about ready to stop practising and start playing," said goalie Carey Price.
