Tommy Haas is technically 33, but he figures his tennis age is about 29 because of all the time he’s missed.
The world’s second-ranked player way back in 2002, Haas has been cursed by injuries ever since. He returned in April from his latest setback, a 14-month hiatus because of hip and shoulder problems. The German had won just two matches all year before he arrived at the U.S. Open—and now he’s won that many at Flushing Meadows.
Ranked 475th, Haas is the oldest man left in the draw.
He’s had some good fortune, facing a qualifier, 247th-ranked Jonathan Dasnieres de Veigy, in the first round. And when 15th-seeded Viktor Troicki was upset in his opener, Haas was up against 119th-ranked Alejandro Falla, coming off a five-set match, in the second.
