		</div><p>Roger Federer squandered a match point as he was shocked by German veteran Tommy Haas in the second round of the Mercedes Cup in Stuttgart.</p>
<p>The 39-year-old Haas, who is playing his final season on the tour after a series of injury problems, battled to a 2-6 7-6 (8/6) 6-4 win in just under two hours.</p>
<p>Federer was playing his first tournament since he won the Miami Open in April after choosing to skip the clay court season to prepare for his favoured grass.</p>
<p>The Swiss star cruised through the first set in just 23 minutes and broke early in the second, but Haas deployed all of his considerable experience to fight back.</p>
<p>Federer hit a backhand long on a Haas second serve when he held match point in the tie-break, and the German punished him by converting his fourth set point.</p>
<p>Haas stepped up in the final set, saving three early break points before breaking for 3-1 and maintaining his advantage to clinch a memorable victory.</p>
