Tommy Haas defeated Mikhail Youzhny 6-1, 6-1, 6-3.
Paris: Tommy Haas' resurgence at age 35 reached a new peak Monday, when he became the oldest French Open men's quarter-finalist since 1971 by beating Mikhail Youzhny 6-1, 6-1, 6-3.
Haas also became the oldest man to reach the quarters at any major event since Andre Agassi at the 2005 U.S. Open.
Seeded No. 12, Haas needed 13 match points to beat John Isner in a third-round marathon, but the victory over Youzhny took less than 90 minutes. By the second set Youzhny was so frustrated he demolished his racket by banging it nine times against his changeover chair.
Haas served well and dominated with his returns, winning 25 of 41 points on Youzhny's first serve and breaking eight times.
