Analysis for Haas-Muller (ATP US Open)

Head-to-head record 1:0

Tommy Haas of Germany will play Gilles Muller from Luxemburg in the second round of US Open tournament. Tommy Haas has an all-court playing style as well. He is seen as an intense and emotional player, sometimes having outbursts on the court by muttering at himself or at his coaches, or even off the court. His performance often depends on actual mood and self confidence. He is a top player without any doubts – he defeated Richard Gasquet in the first round (6:7,6:4,5:7,7:5,6:2). But Tommy’s form in this year is at least questionable – he lost to Hartfield in Delray Beach, to Kunitsyn in Houston, to O.Rochus in Monte Carlo, to Young in Los Angeles – all first round losses. Gilles Muller defeated Laurent Recouderc of France in first round (6:4,6:0,4:6,6:4). He beated Ouhab, Mannarino and Kamke in qualies and he has got his chances for big win today – he must serve well and he must prosper from German’s weaker backhand.
