Prior to the Bullring battle, Haase had lost all three of his five-set matches contested on the grounds at Roland-Garros. Yet on Sunday, the world No.44 claimed the decisive points with canny forays to the net to surge two sets in front 6-4 6-4. Would we witness a top seed depart on the opening day’s play?
