HOUSTON - In a match representing one of the greatest age disparities on the men's tennis tour in recent decades, 39-year-old Tommy Haas edged 19-year-old Reilly Opelka 7-6 (5), 4-6, 6-3 on Monday at the US Men's Clay Court Championship.
It was the first ATP tour-level victory since Wimbledon in 2015 for Haas, once ranked as high as No 2, but now semiretired and outside the top 800.
Opelka is ranked 168th.
