Rusty Roger 'not so shocked' by loss to Haas

STUTTGART, Germany - After nearly three months out of action, Roger Federer said he was not shocked by his loss to 39-year-old Tommy Haas at the Stuttgart grasscourt tournament on Wednesday.

Haas, a former world No 2 but now No 302, won 2-6, 7-6 (8), 6-4 for just his fourth victory in 17 meetings against his close friend.

Federer, building up for an assault on an eighth Wimbledon title, hadn't played since March, skipping the entire claycourt season.
