Tommy Haas returns at French Open, but loses

Published May 24, 2011

PARIS (AP) Tommy Haas has a long way to go. At least now, he's playing tennis again.

The former second-ranked player from Germany played his first singles match in 15 months Monday at the French Open. He lost 6-4, 4-6, 7-6 (1), 6-4 to Marsel Ilhan of Turkey.

Haas admitted to nerves at the start, but he feels his strokes are still there. He says: ``Overall, I'm happy to be able to finish the match.''

Haas last played a singles match on the men's tour in February 2010. He then had surgery on his right hip.
