Tommy Haas entered French Open 2012 Mens Singles Qualifying as the number 11 seed. Tommy has always been strong on clay and he has performed amazingly well to progress to the French Open 2012 Main Draw. Tommy just won his final round of single qualifying over Ivan Navarro of Spain 6-4 6-1.

Tommy Haas has returned after hip surgery with a win in the first round of the Hall of Fame Tennis Championships. Haas defeated Michael Berrer 7-6 6-3. Haas is now ranked number 728 in the world and had to receive a wild card to be able to play at the event.
Haas then went on to play Michael Yani in the round of 16, but had to retire at 5-2 down in the first set. No word on whether it was a recurring injury.
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.
