HALLE, Germany — Tommy Haas is largely unsure what the future holds for him, but he does have one set plan this week.
“On Wednesday,” Haas said, “I’m going to have two beers.”
The drinks will commemorate the first anniversary of Haas’s most recent right shoulder operation, his fourth, which kept him off the tour for nearly a year. Through a lengthier absence than most players ever face in a career, Haas has experienced two year-plus layoffs from the tour, for his first shoulder operations and a hip operation.
“Obviously, at my age, I don’t have that much time to waste,” he said.
