Haas Stopped at ATP Vienna, Canas, Lopez in Final

Haas, in his first full year of play after a difficult comeback from shoulder surgery, has won two titles in 2004, on clay at Houston (d. Roddick) and on the hardcourts at Los Angeles (d. Agassi, Kiefer).

"Today my return was excellent," said Canas, who is 22-2 since July on clay, outdoor hardcourt, and indoors. "That was a very important part of my game today because Tommy has a very good serve. I started to return well from the first game and that gave me a lot of confidence."

Canas, who will be seeking his fourth title of the year after dirt championships at Stuttgart (d. Gaudio) and Umag (d. Volandri), and a hardcourt win at Shanghai (d. Burgsmuller), will face No. 8 seed Feliciano "F-Lo" Lopez who beat the unseeded Italian Davide Sanguinetti 6-3, 6-3.

The Spaniard F-Lo is seeking his first win of the year, in March losing in three sets to Roger Federer on hardcourts in Dubai.

"They always ask you if you are ready for your first ATP title and I think I am," F-Lo said. "It will be difficult tomorrow, and even more because we play best of five sets. Willy (Canas) is playing very good and I have to keep up my level all the time tomorrow."

F-Lo won their only previous meeting at Wimbledon in 2002, 10-8 in the fifth set.

The doubles final will be Argentines (3) Etlis/Rodriguez vs. unseeded Czechs Damm/Suk.
