Novak Djokovic’s ready for revenge against Tommy Haas

Chris Jones10 April 2012

Novak Djokovic is looking forward to exacting revenge on Tommy Haas for beating him in the Halle final in Germany.

The No4 seed from Serbia eased into the quarter-finals by defeating Israel's Dudi Sela 6-2, 6-4, 6-1 and then said he can't wait for the rematch with the German.

Haas won 6-3, 6-7, 6-1 two weeks ago but Djokovic said: "Tommy is a great player and he's playing really well lately, taking Roger Federer to five sets in the French Open, winning Halle and here he has had some marathon matches.

"He's very aggressive, plays serve and volley and goes for both serves."

The Serb wasn't fazed by playing on the infamous Graveyard of Champions' on Court No3 although he admitted the surface was different to the bigger showcourts he would normally expect to compete upon, especially with his high ranking.

"No, I am not upset at playing on that court," he said.

"I am not criticising the organizers. It's all right and I have played on that court before.

"It's normal and you have to adjust because you can't play on Centre Court all the time."
