Hasse beaten Shapavalov

Style of play

Haase has a powerful serve, which often exceeds 200 kph. It is also very accurate. Although his double-handed backhand is weaker than his forehand, he can attack and defend with both. When he hits the ball very flat, he is a threat to top players, as he led Nadal by two sets to one in Wimbledon before losing in 5 sets, and holding a two sets to love lead against three time Grand Slam champion Andy Murray in the US Open before eventually losing in five sets. He is capable of producing spectacular shots, such as powerful forehands down the line on the run, à la Sampras, or backhand winners while taking the ball on the rise, his left foot in the air. An accomplished doubles player, Haase does not shun the odd net point. Haase is a very spirited player, who has problems maintaining his temper when a match turns for the worse.

Equipment

Haase is using a Head Graphene Prestige Mid, 93 square inches (he may still be using Head Sonic Pro 17 gauge strings 55/53 lbs, which was his last tension and string choice with his previous Prestige Mid racket).
