Del Potro to face Haas in Washington semis

Washington: Argentina's top-seeded Juan Martin Del Potro booked a semifinal matchup against Germany's Tommy Haas with a straight-set victory on Friday over Kevin Anderson at the ATP and WTA Washington Open.

Seventh-ranked Del Potro, the 2009 US Open winner and the Washington champion in 2008 and 2009, beat the South African seventh seed 7-6 (7/0), 6-3 while third seed Haas ousted Bulgarian 11th seed Grigor Dimitrov 7-6 (7/5), 7-6 (7/3).

US eighth seed John Isner, who won his seventh career title last week in Atlanta, will face Russia's Dmitry Tursunov in the other men's semifinal at the $1.76 million hardcourt event, a tuneup for the US Open.

Del Potro, in his first event since losing an epic Wimbledon semifinal to top-ranked Novak Djokovic, has won all four prior ATP matches against Haas without losing a set, including a 2008 Washington semifinal and most recently in the round of 16 this year at Indian Wells.

"Del Potro is one opponent I despise playing in many ways," Haas said. "He has given me a lot of trouble. And he has been playing terrific tennis.
