I'm watching Tommy Haas playing the "last American", John Isner, at the French Open.
Tommy Haas was born in Germany. Born abroad like so many Americans over the years. He first came to the Florida to train at Nick Bollettieri's academy at age 11. He permanently relocated to the Land of Opportunity at age 13 to train in Florida full time.
Tommy Haas became a US citizen in 2010. He now lives in Los Angeles, California.
Tommy Haas was born in Germany and came to the US to pursue his dream of becoming a world class tennis player.
He fulfilled his dream.
What could be more American than that?
