Meet Tommy Haas a USA Tennis Player?
German great Tommy Haas has been living in the USA for several years now, and in January he thought it was about time he gained U.S. citizenship. Tommy always maintained that he would keep playing for his native Germany. However, I don’t really think Tommy understood that once gaining U.S citizenship that would mean he would have to give away his Germany citizenship. The USA have a policy of not offering dual citizenship’s, its all or nothing.
If you take a look at his ATP Tour player profile you will now notice he plays tennis for the USA.
Haas is out of action until closer to the U.S. Open after having hip surgery, so there has not been any official comment on the reasoning behind this move.
Roger Federer to Play Halle Tournament for Rest of His Career
Roger Federer has signed a lifetime contract with Gerry Weber Open, the Halle, Germany grass court event. “Lifetime” obviously means the rest of his career.
Roger’s feeling good about the blessed union:
“I am delighted.” Federer said. “It feels a bit like I am getting married. I wanted to plan more long-term. I want to build up friendships and I get on really well with Ralf and Gerhard Weber.”
Im not exactly too sure if Mirka would like to hear you say that signing a contract is like your marriage!
Roger has loved playing at Halle for many years now and has won the title five times already.
Tommy Haas and Andy Murray Both Win Tournaments over the Weekend
Both Tommy Haas and Andy Murray had great weekend the pair each won their respective tournaments.
Tommy Haas, ranked 41 in the world, came into the Gerry Weber Open with a wild card and scored a major upset over Novak Djokovic in the finals on Sunday: 6-3, 6-7(4), 6-1. This was the first German singles victory in nine years in Halle, and Haas’s first singles title (and final appearance) since Memphis, 2007.
Andy Murray beat up James Blake in straight sets on his “home” turf of London: 7-5, 6-4. He becomes Great Britain’s first Queen’s Club singles champion in 71 years – since Bunny Austin beat Sin-Khie Kho of China in 1938.
