Robin Haase of the Netherlands rallied to defeat top-seeded Philipp Kohlschreiber 6-7 (2), 6-3, 6-2 yesterday to win the Bet-at-Home Cup for a second straight year.

It was the 42nd-ranked Haase's second career title in as many finals. The Dutchman took control of the match after an hour-long rain delay at 1-1 in the second set.

Kohlschreiber, who is now 4-3 in career finals, will move into the top 20 for the first time when ATP rankings are updated tomorrow.

Kohlschreiber missed six break points as the opening set went with serve. The German won the tiebreaker when Haase hit his third double fault at 6-2 down.

Haase converted his first chance on Kohlschreiber's serve in the opening game of the second set but dropped his own serve immediately afterward.

After the rain delay, Haase dominated play and used two more breaks to take the second set, helped by Kohlschreiber who hit his only double fault in the set at set point down.

Like in the opening set, Haase saved six break points in the decider to close out the victory.

Both players will next swap the clay for a grass court at the London Olympics, with Haase taking on Richard Gasquet of France and Kohlschreiber facing Blaz Kavcic of Slovenia in the first round.
