Evergreen Tommy Haas reached the Munich claycourt final on Saturday, 13 years after his first appearance ended in defeat. Haas, 35, saw off Croatia's Ivan Dodig 6-4, 6-3 and will now face defending champion Philipp Kohlschreiber in Sunday's all-German final. Haas reached the Munich final in 2000 when he lost in straight sets to Argentina's Franco Squillari.
"It's quite crazy (to be back in the final). I don't think it's really hit me yet," said Haas, who will be seeking his 14th career title on Sunday. "Thirteen years is a long time and it's pretty impressive, I think, to achieve something like that.
