Sony Open Men’s Semis Predictions: Haas Through to the Finals with Murray

By Kevin Ware

(March 29, 2013) MIAMI – If you’d asked anyone two weeks ago if these four players would be the Miami semifinalists, the answer would have been resoundingly “No”. Yet here we are, preparing for a battle of veterans in one semifinal while Murray faces a resurgent Frenchman in the other.

The 34 year-old Haas has a chance to make history. Ferrer has a legitimate shot at a second Masters Series title in the absence of his usual rivals. Gasquet has a chance to win his biggest title to date. And Andy has a chance to get a toehold into the season before heading to the clay. Lots of storylines, but only two go through. Here are my thoughts on why it will be a Haas versus Murray final.

Tommy Haas versus David Ferrer

Head-to-Head: Ferrer leads 2-0

Ferrer leads their head-to-head, but I wouldn’t put much stock in that statistic given that their last meeting was in 2008 in Dubai. They’re both very different players now, so I’ll focus on what both bring to the table for this particular semifinal match.

Ferrer has dropped one set in three matches (he received a walkover from Dmitry Tursunov). He’s playing solid tennis, but definitely not his best tennis. And he’s showing an edginess in his matches that isn’t particularly helpful to his cause. Tommy, on the other hand, is playing tremendous tennis. Both his forehand and backhand are causing damage. He’s serving well, moving brilliantly, and displaying a variety of shots that almost rivals the great Federer.

The keys to this match for Haas are his movement, his variety, and his forehand. If he moves well, uses his variety to keep Ferrer off-balance, and hits his forehand as strongly as he has in previous matches, Ferrer is in trouble. The key to the match for Ferrer is in his head. He needs to keep himself from going on edgy walkabouts like he has in previous matches. When his mood turns sour, his game goes sour and he starts to miss. If that happens against Haas, the German will take full advantage.

I’m giving the nod to Haas in three. He’s focused and sharp, yet also happy, relaxed, and enjoying every minute of his current run. He’s playing brilliantly and will continue to do so for a spot in the finals on Sunday.

Tommy Haas in three sets

Andy Murray versus Richard Gasquet

Head-to-Head: Andy leads 4-3

Andy leads their head-to-head, but once again this stat is misleading. They’ve only played two hard court matches, and that hasn’t happened since 2007. So there really isn’t much to go on in terms of recent hard court history.

A visit to the ATP site for their 52-week FedEx Index stats gives a slightly better picture of what we can expect. Murray outperforms Gasquet slightly in terms of hard court matches won, tiebreaks won, and a better performance over Top Ten players (not counting Gasquet’s win Thursday over Tomas Berdych).

In terms of their play in Miami, it’s a toss-up. Murray hasn’t played the type of spectacular tennis that won him the US Open title, but has won with ease over most of his opponents. Gasquet has played solid and “non-mental” tennis, but has had much tighter matches. Is that enough to beat Andy? Probably not. His win over Berdych was as much a function of Berdych’s game breaking down as it was Gasquet’s play.

Murray’s match against Marin Cilic wasn’t his best, but it was good enough. That’s what he does best, and without breaking down a la Berdych. If Gasquet plays Andy like he did Tomas, it will be a good match: but he will still lose in three.

Andy Murray in three sets.
