Tommy Haas defeated Novak Djokovic for the second straight tournament. He now owns Nole on grass after this big upset at Wimbledon in their quarterfinal meeting 7-5, 7-6(6), 4-6, 6-3.
A rejuvenated and inspired Hottie Tommy, oldest guy left in the tournament at 31, has been having an incredible run since Roland Garros. He almost defeated Roger Federer in their 4th round match there. Then, he went on to win the Wimbledon warm-up at Halle where he defeated Nole in the finals.
This is Tommy’s first Wimbledon semifinal appearance. Not too shabby for an old guy, eh? He will meet Roger on Friday for a spot on Championship Sunday. Let’s see if he can pull another huge upset and finally finish off Roger this time!
