Thomas Mario Haas (German pronunciation:[ˈtɔmiˈhaːs]; born 3 April 1978) is a German–American former professionaltennis player. He competed on theATP Tour from 1996 to 2017, and was ranked world No. 2 in men's singles by theAssociation of Tennis Professionals (ATP) in May 2002.[1] Haas won 15 career titles in singles, including aMasters title at the2001 Stuttgart Masters, and a silver medal at the2000 Sydney Olympics. He reached the semifinals of theAustralian Open three times, and inWimbledon once. He reached the quarterfinal stage at each of themajors.
Born inHamburg, Germany to Brigitte and Peter Haas,[2] Tommy started playing his own version of tennis when he was four years old,[3] using a wooden plank to hit balls against the wall or into his father's hands. When his father observed his talents, he started bringing Haas to work, as he was a tennis coach.
At five, Haas won his first youth tournament, in Hamburg. At eight, he won his second, inMunich. Between 11 and 13, Haas twice won the Austrian Championship, the German Championship, and the European Championship.
Haas's talents were noted by tennis guruNick Bollettieri. He was so impressed by the young German's talent that he offered Haas the chance to stay and train at his Bollettieri Academy in Bradenton, Florida, for free, and Haas began attending at age 11.[2] At 13, speaking little English, Haas moved full-time to Florida to train at the academy.[2]
His sister,Sabine, also played professional tennis.[4]
As a junior Haas reached as high as No. 11 in the junior world singles rankings in 1995 (and No. 5 in doubles).
In 1996, Haas became a professional tennis player. He played his first Grand Slam tournament at the US Open, losing in the first round to compatriotMichael Stich in four sets. He gained attention as a future star when he won his firstATP title in 1999, made it to the semifinals of the Australian Open, and was a finalist in theGrand Slam Cup. The following year, he won a silver medal at theSydney Olympics defeatingWayne Ferreira,Andreas Vinciguerra,Àlex Corretja,Max Mirnyi andRoger Federer en route to the gold medal match where he lost toYevgeny Kafelnikov. He also beatAndre Agassi at the1998 Wimbledon Championships in the second round.
In 2001, he won four ATP titles, including his first Masters shield, finishing 2001 as world No. 8 and only missing out on playing in the season-endingMasters Cup because ofGoran Ivanišević'sWimbledon victory, which meant Ivanišević took the eighth and final spot. In the 2002 Australian Open, he won in five sets againstTodd Martin and Roger Federer, and in four againstMarcelo Ríos to reach the semifinals. He led Marat Safin two sets to one but suffered from a stiff shoulder after a rain delay, and Safin won the match, taking the final two sets 6–0, 6–2. Haas was quickly rising to the top of the tennis ranks when his career was suddenly halted at No. 2 in the world by a severe accident that nearly claimed the lives of his parents, leaving his father in a coma. Haas spent much of 2002 taking care of his family. At the end of this lay-off, he injured his shoulder, requiring a major operation. He was plagued by further injuries and related complications afterwards and did not return to professional tennis fully until 2004. Before his parents' accident and his injuries, he had a winning record against several former and future No. 1 ranked players: 3–0 againstAndy Roddick, 2–1 against Roger Federer, 2–1 againstMarat Safin, and 2–0 againstJim Courier, as well as 5–5 againstPete Sampras. Haas won two more ATP titles in his return year of 2004, while trying to gain back his form.
In 2006, Haas won three ATP tournaments and reached the quarterfinals at theUS Open, where he was knocked out byNikolay Davydenko after having been up two sets. Haas began having severe cramps in his legs in the third set. During the match he was visibly disturbed, repeatedly hitting his legs with his racquet, frustrated at the cramps.
At the end of the year, he had to win the Paris Masters to qualify for theMasters Cup, the ATP year-end final. He lost after a semifinal run toDominik Hrbatý with health problems and did not play again for the rest of the year.
In 2007, Haas, with his long hair now cut short, had battled his way to his third Australian Open semifinal, which included matches againstDavid Nalbandian and a five-set quarterfinal rematch against Nikolay Davydenko. He lost his semifinal match against first-timeGrand Slam finalistFernando González from Chile in straight sets. Despite this loss, Haas returned to the top 10 of the world rankings for the first time since 2002.
On 25 February, at theRegions Morgan Keegan Championships inMemphis, Haas stopped Andy Roddick's quest for the final, winning in two sets. This was the first time Haas had won a title without facing a single break point in any of his matches, as well as the first time he had won titles in consecutive seasons. Haas also became only the second player to win three titles at Memphis, the other beingJimmy Connors, who won in 1979, 1983, and 1984.
Haas reached the quarterfinals of thePacific Life Open, anATP Masters Series tournament held in Indian Wells, California, where he lost toAndy Murray in a third-set tiebreaker. In the 2007 ATP Champion's Race, Haas, the 13th seed (10th-ranked), not known for being much of a grass court player, advanced to the fourth round at Wimbledon for the first time, defeatingZack Fleishman,Tomáš Zíb, and No. 21 seedDmitry Tursunov. His run came to an end after he suffered a torn abdominal muscle and had to withdraw a day before playing Roger Federer.
At theUS Open, Haas equaled his best result in New York by reaching the quarterfinals with five-set wins overSébastien Grosjean andJames Blake. He beat Blake in a fifth-set tiebreak, saving match points. His run ended, however, with a three-set loss to Nikolay Davydenko.
In the first half of 2008, Haas was derailed by injuries, causing him to miss both the Australian Open and the French Open. This dropped him significantly in the rankings, as he was unable to back up his semifinal performance at the Australian Open the year before. He made it to the quarterfinals of the Pacific Life Open in Indian Wells, defeating Andy Murray in three sets. He was then forced to withdraw from his quarterfinal match against Roger Federer due to injury.
He reached the third round at Wimbledon with a four-set win overGuillermo Cañas and a straight-set win over 23rd seedTommy Robredo. He then fell to Andy Murray in four sets.
In the hard-court season, he got to the semifinals of theLegg Mason Tennis Classic in Washington, D.C., but lost toJuan Martín del Potro. At the Rogers Cup in Toronto, he beat former world No. 1Carlos Moyà, and then lost to Nikolay Davydenko in the second round. At theUS Open, he beat 12th seedRichard Gasquet in five sets. He then fell toGilles Müller of Luxembourg in five sets, despite cruising in the first two sets.
At the beginning of the new season, Haas pulled out of theQatar ExxonMobil Open due to elbow problems. However, he appeared in the Kooyong Exhibition game, where he beatMardy Fish.
At the2009 Australian Open, Haas beatEduardo Schwank in the first round andFlavio Cipolla in the second. In the third round, he fell to the tournament's first seed and eventual championRafael Nadal.
At theSAP Open in San Jose, California, he joined forces with CzechRadek Štěpánek to clinch his first doubles title, after losing in the singles quarterfinals to defending champion Andy Roddick.
Haas lost in the first round in both Memphis and Delray Beach. He did not succeed in defending his quarterfinal points at theBNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, as he fell toNovak Djokovic in the third round, after defeatingÓscar Hernández andRainer Schüttler. He suffered another failure in the Miami Masters, losing toMikhail Kukushkin.
In Houston, Texas, at the River Oaks Men's Clay Championship, Haas was defeated byBjörn Phau in the quarterfinals, after he defeated defending championMarcel Granollers in the second round.
As a qualifier inMadrid, he defeatedErnests Gulbis, before losing to Andy Roddick.
At theFrench Open, Haas matched his best result since 2002. He defeatedAndrei Pavel in straight sets, and then won a five-setter againstLeonardo Mayer. After defeatingJérémy Chardy in the third round, Haas was narrowly defeated by the former world No. 1 and eventual champion, Roger Federer, in the fourth round. At a crucial stage in the third set, Haas was only five points away from his biggest win on clay, but was unable to convert a break point that would have seen him serve for the match at 5–3. Federer hit a vital winner to save the break point, en route to a comeback victory.
At theGerry Weber Open, Haas won his first title on grass in his 21stATP World Tour final. In the process, he defeated fourth seedJo-Wilfried Tsonga in the second round,Mischa Zverev in the quarterfinals, andPhilipp Kohlschreiber in the semifinals. He defeated the tournament's second seedNovak Djokovic, in the final.[5]
This victory made Haas one of a small group of players to have won ATP titles on all three major surfaces (grass, clay, and hard courts.) With Haas' success at this tournament and at the French Open, his ranking rose to no. 35.
AtWimbledon, Haas won a five-set match againstMarin Čilić. Haas was up two sets to love and had match points in the fourth set, then had to save two match points serving at 5–6 before the match was suspended due to darkness after over four hours of play, at 6–6 in the fifth. The next day, Haas broke Cilic at 8–8 and eventually held on to win. Haas then comfortably defeatedIgor Andreev to reach the quarterfinals. There, he defeated Novak Djokovic for the second time in three weeks to reach the semifinals atWimbledon for the first time in his career, where he faced Roger Federer in a rematch of their encounter in Paris. Haas lost, ensuring Federer's historic seventh Wimbledon final. This success at Wimbledon made Haas rise to No. 19 in the rankings.
Haas continued his late career resurgence by making it to the semifinals at theLA Tennis Open, defeatingMarat Safin in the quarterfinals,[6] before losing toSam Querrey. He made it to the third round at theUS Open, losing narrowly toFernando Verdasco, after being up a break in each set.
Following his comeback, however, Haas suffered from another bout of injury. He made the third round of the2010 Australian Open, defeatingSimon Greul andJanko Tipsarević, but did not play after February 2010, spending time recovering from right hip and right shoulder surgeries.[7] He missed the rest of the 2010 season and once more dropped out of the ATP rankings. He returned to action partnering Radek Štěpánek in doubles in Munich in May 2011, but then lost in the first round.[8] His return match in singles came at the2011 French Open, where he lost in round one. He also went down in the first round at Wimbledon, but reached the third round of theUS Open, losing toJuan Mónaco in four sets. Other than Grand Slams, he played little tennis, competing in only ten other tournaments, mainly in July, August, and October.
Haas began the 2012 season at theBrisbane International, but had to withdraw in the second round.[9] Nevertheless, he competed more regularly in 2012 than in previous seasons. He qualified for theFrench Open, progressing to the third round, and reached the semifinals of theBMW Open, returning to the world's top 100.
As a wildcard at theGerry Weber Open in Germany, Haas won the title for the second time thanks to wins over former championsTomáš Berdych and Philipp Kohlschreiber en route to the final,[10] where he defeated world No. 3 and five-time champion Federer in two sets.[11] However, Haas was subsequently defeated in the first round of Wimbledon later that month, letting a two-sets-to-one lead slip against compatriot Philipp Kohlschreiber.
Haas lost to world No. 206,Pavol Červenák in the Stuttgart clay-court tournament at the second-round stage.[12]
Haas continued to find good form during the second half of the season. He reached the finals of theGerman Open Tennis Championships 2012, losing toJuan Mónaco,[13] and theCiti Open, losing toAlexandr Dolgopolov.[14] These two runs saw Haas rise back into the top 50. Haas went on to reach two quarterfinals in Masters 1000 tournaments, his best performance at that level since 2008. Haas briefly returned to the top 20 in the world in October 2012,[15] and he finished the season ranked No. 21. This was enough to earn him theComeback Player of the Year award for a second time.[16]
Haas lost in theAustralian Open first round. In February at theSAP Open he reached his 25th career final against defending championMilos Raonic, but lost in straight sets.[17] Next he played inDelray Beach International Tennis Championships as a former 2006 champion, where he lost toErnests Gulbis in three sets in the semifinals.[18]
AtIndian Wells, he lost in the fourth round to Juan Martín del Potro after saving match point to beatNicolás Almagro in the previous round. InMiami, he beat world No. 1, Novak Djokovic, in straight sets. It was his first victory over a top-ranked player since he defeatedAndre Agassi in 1999.[19] He followed this up with a victory overGilles Simon to reach his first Miami semifinal, and first Masters 1000 semifinal since the2006 Paris Masters. There, he lost to third seedDavid Ferrer, 6–4, 2–6, 3–6.
In May, he won his first title of the year at Munich, beating Philipp Kohlschreiber in an all-German final.[20]
Haas made history at theFrench Open, when he missed a record twelve match points againstJohn Isner in the fourth set of their third round match. Isner won the set on a tiebreak, but in the fifth set Haas went on to recover from 2–4 down and saved a match point against him at 4–5 to eventually win 10–8.[21] Haas beatMikhail Youzhny in the fourth round but eventually lost to Djokovic in straight sets in the quarter finals.[22]
AtWimbledon, Haas advanced to the fourth round to set up a rematch against Djokovic but again lost in straight sets.

Haas started the season at the Heineken Open in Auckland, where he lost in the second round againstJack Sock in straight sets. At theAustralian Open, he was forced to retire with a recurring shoulder problem againstGuillermo García López in the first round after trailing 5–7, 2–5 on serve. After the setback, he participated in the first round of theDavis Cup against Spain. He teamed up alongside Philipp Kohlschreiber in doubles, taking a four-set victory to hand Germany a place in the quarterfinals for the first time since 2011.
Haas then hired compatriotAlexander Waske as his new coach. His goal was to qualify for his first season-endATP World Tour Finals. In his next tournament, theZagreb Indoors, Haas reached the final by defeatingBenjamin Becker,Andrey Kuznetsov, andDaniel Evans. In the final, he was beaten by defending championMarin Čilić in straight sets.

He then retired in the quarterfinals toGrigor Dimitrov.[23]
Haas missed the rest of the 2014 season to have an operation on his injured right shoulder which had forced him to retire from several events.
After a later than expected return from injury, in the grass court season in June 2015, Haas played his comeback match at Stuttgart as a wild card. In the first round he beatMikhail Kukushkin in straight sets but then lost toBernard Tomic in straight sets in the second round. Haas then played at theGerry Weber Open, losing in the first round to eventual finalistAndreas Seppi. His next tournament wasWimbledon, where he reached the second round.

In April 2016, Haas, at 38, had toe surgery and was out for nine months, "I know that there's a chance that I might not come back from this", Haas said. "I know it will be a very, very hard task, but there's no doubt in my mind I'm certainly going to try."[24]
In June 2016, Tommy Haas was named the new Indian Wells Tournament Director. "I'm thrilled to join the BNP Paribas Open as its new Tournament Director and look forward to working with one of the finest sporting events in the world", said Haas. "There is a reason that the BNP Paribas Open has been voted Tournament of the Year by both tours for consecutive years, as the tournament and venue continue to provide a world-class experience for players, fans and sponsors. I look forward to joining the experienced Indian Wells staff, building upon the foundation they have created, and working to take the event to even greater heights."[25]
In January 2017, Haas made his first ATP Tour appearance in 15 months at theAustralian Open. In the first round, he retired after the second set because he felt physically "empty".[26]
In April 2017, Haas won his first match at ATP-level in 21 months inHouston. At the age of 39, he defeated the almost 20 years youngerReilly Opelka in the first round.

In July 2020, Haas played theBerlin tennis exhibitions, where he beatJan-Lennard Struff before he lost toDominic Thiem.[36]
Haas was an all-court player, capable of playing well on clay, hard, and grass surfaces. Nick Bollettieri noted Haas as having "one of the greatest backhands in the world", praising its versatility and power.[37] Haas also possessed a powerful slice backhand, which he used to disrupt the rhythm of the point and to construct offensive positions. He also possessed a strong serve and a functional set of volleys.
Haas was known for his refined footwork and racquet skills, both of which he used to construct quick defensive-to-offensive transitions. He was widely considered one of the best players to have never won a grand slam, having been restricted by numerous injuries. Reviewers described him as having nice "fluidity" and how his game overall allows him to adapt to most situations, as demonstrated by his equal win percentage over both right and left-handed players, as well as his relatively even win percentages on all surfaces. Haas' mental game was described as solid, boasting a positive win record in deciding sets (3rd or 5th).
On 27 January 2010, Haas became a United States citizen, but continued to represent Germany in tennis.[38]
In 2006, Haas began dating American actressSara Foster. They have two daughters, Valentina Evelyn (b. 2010) and Josephine Lena (b. 2015). In August 2024, they announced their separation after 18 years together.[39]
