Richard Gasquet may have won their match in three sets. But Robin Haase stole the show with an improvised forehand flick that had both men smiling and even Gasquet giving a thumbs-up.
Early in their Gerry Weber Open quarterfinal in Halle, Gasquet and Haase engaged in a lengthy rally that Haase concluded with a little piece of magic.
Gasquet, however, ultimately ran out a 6-1 3-6 6-1 winner and will next face either Alexander Zverev or Roberto Bautista Agut for a place in the final of the grasscourt event.
