Novak Djokovic vs Tommy Haas takes place in the French Open 2013 Men's singles quarter finals on Wednesday. Top seeded Djokovic will be eager to quickly move past Haas and move towards another French Open final after last year's showing, however, Haas will of course have other ideas. The game is scheduled to start sometime after 10 a.m. ET on Wednesday and can be watched online through free live stream via the link provided below.
The winner of this match up will play either Rafael Nadal or Stanislas Wawrinka in the semifinals, but the World number 1 is the big favorite to make that game over the No. 12 seeded German opponent.
Djokovic is a six-time Grand Slam champion and he will be looking to add to that tally in this tournament. His confidence will be high after easing through the first four rounds of the French Open so far.
He will be hoping to make his way towards Nadal, and will be looking to gain revenge for the loss in the final last year to the Spaniard, which came in four sets.
Djokovic started the tournament a little slowly but still came through easily 7-6, 6-4, 7-5 against David Goffin in the first round.
Against Argentine lefty Guido Pella in the second round, the 2013 Australian Open champion won impressively in three sets 6-2, 6-0, 6-2.
In the third round he met No. 26 Grigor Dimitrov, and won the game 6-2, 6-2, 6-3, and in the fourth round he faced off against Philipp Kohlschreiber. But prior to the game he received the devastating news that his first-ever tennis coach, Jelena Gencic, died in Belgrade at the age of 76.
On the back of that news Djokovic dropped his first set of the tournament 4-6 to Kohlschreiber, but came back strong and won the match in four sets and advanced to his 16th-consecutive Grand Slam quarterfinal.
"It was tough today against a player who has a lot of ability, especially on clay," Djokovic said after the match. "It wasn't easy for me, but I turned around the match. I played well after the first set, so I'm very happy."
