— Tennis TV (@TennisTV) August 12, 2017 Dutchman Robin Haase injected a bit of levity into his semifinal with Roger Federer at the Coupe Rogers on Saturday in Montreal.

Federer took a second-set tiebreaker and clinched a 6-3, 7-6(5) win to move into the final. The Swiss will bid to tie Ivan Lendl for 2nd on the ATP’s all-time title list with 94 when he meets either Alexander Zverev or Denis Shapovalov in the final.
