Tommy Haas has put out the call for physiotherapy hopefuls to ride to his rescue as the 33-year-old returns to the German Davis Cup squad next week. “I need a top physio on my side whom I can trust,” said Haas, who has been picked for the February 10-12 first-round tie against 2011 finalist Argentina in Bamberg.
Haas, who is based in the US and also has a second passport, will use “auditions” during the Davis Cup week to help him select a permanent traveling physio. The one-time No. 2 has been through the wringer with injuries over his long career, with his most recent problem a hip operation.
“I’m looking for someone who is a fitness enthusiast and sometimes three, four, five weeks at a time can be on the road,” said Haas, who is also putting out the word of his job opening through social media and his website.
Haas holds a 22-8 Davis Cup record but last played for Germany five years ago in a loss to Russia, He is joined on the team by compatriots Florian Mayer, Philipp Petzschner and Philipp Kohlschreiber.
