When he was #2 in the world in 2002 his parents got in a tragic accident and he spent most of that year taking care of them. That's why he never became #1.
@IcePrimeTime Haas was a great player, but he was never going to become world number 1 in 2002. He was a long way behind Hewitt who held 2 slams, Haas didn't even win a single title in 2002.
surely he's the player I most enjoy watching...it's just my thought but I think he's got the talent to be steadily in the top 5 for many years if it wasn't for the injuries.
he had lot of injurys in his career i hope he will not retire next year, im from germany and lot of ppl expecting that. he said in an interview : " when after my injurys, all the wins i struggled for are nothing worth im tired to fight to get in top ten-list everytime and i gotta start from beginning it sucks a lil' bit"
Great job. The only spectator-shot tennis video I can bear to watch. And I especially like the audio; I don't know if it's the acoustics of the Memphis stadium, but you can actually hear, from the heavy thwap of the tennis strings, how hard these guys are hitting the ball.
Yah, all the time, usually twice per match on the center courts, but I've seen it happen well over 10 times in the grandstands when Karlovic is playing.
Haas is sexier than Roddick

I disagree. Tommy is one of the best tennis players. He just had too many injuries in his career.

I was at this match. Haas was playing out of his mind and raped Roddick.

i wouldn't stay unsteady. Haas is a fiery competitor. Injuries primarily screwed him over. He beat Djokovic to win Halle today. =)

haas and federer play a similar style..the way they hit their groundstrokes is quite similar..
reefric 3 years ago 2
yea but haas goes more off the boil and is much more inconsistent than fed hence the reason he can not go the next step and win a grand slam.
raff23 2 years ago
haas is really talented, i think his problem is also concentration, he´s got a short fuse, bit like safin and younger federer..

And funnily enough, he'll verse Roddick in the 2nd rnd, if my memory serves me correctly.
