Even With A Washington Loss, This Has Been A Good Season For Tommy Haas
Even With A Washington Loss, This Has Been A Good Season For Tommy Haas 
Tommy Haas lost a tough match for the Washington title, going down in a rain-interrupted battle to Ukrainian Alexandr Dolgopolov 6-7 (7-9), 6-4, 6-1. But despite the disappointment, the 34-year-old Haas is optimistic about his recent tennis performances.
He has had two months of success; playing Roger Federer in the home final of Halle and playing title matches in Hamburg and Washington – all since mid-June. Haas, who started the season outside the ranking Top 200 but now stands 25th, was seeking a ninth career title in the US, where he had never lost a final.
The 34-year-old German was disappointed with the loss but still content with another solid week after playing the Hamburg final last month. “I’ve proven myself over the last few months, it’s been unbelievable. Obviously I’m a little bit frustrated right now still. I thought I had some chances to win this title and I really wanted it.
“It’s always tough to lose, even when you had a great week, but you just have to let it sink in and overall, I’m really proud to get here to a final and play really solid tennis. I just hope I can stay injury-free and keep going and try to keep it moving.”
Haas stays on the hardcourt as the US Open approaches, playing this week’s Toronto Masters.
