Edy has informed us in the Dussledorf thread that Haas has a slight fever and would rather retire now than play poorly for a set and then retire. He should still be OK for the French, and humbly accepts the Fair Sportsman trophy which was given to him for some reason.

This Fairplay-Trophy is a farce.
You could give it to anyone.
Would have been fair from Haas to tell the organisers in time, so they would have had a match on cc1 (and on eurosport live). they scheduled hajek-sijsling on cc2 - no pictures. not funny for the sponsors, who want a live match on tv.
