At the age of 34 people usually say that you are young, if you are a professional athlete things look different. Most athlets can count the days on their hand, on which nothing hurts in the morning. Tommy Haas knows that feeling. So that the man from Hamburg can play on such a high level, like he did lately in Halle, as well as at the Bet-At-Home Open, one person is needed: Carlos Costa. The physio has a lot to do on a competition day with "Oldie" Haas. In the morning they start with a mobilisation before the training starts. After having trained in the morning and in the afternoon they stretch and in the evening Costa does a manual therapy to treat functional disorders of muscles, nerves, and joints. Everything will end up with a massage. When Costa started, the body of Haas was in a worse condition. "In the beginning of our cooperation he had pains in his lower back, his hips and his knee. Now the pain is almost gone and we can see that in his movement on court." The body is keeping up and this is why Costa believes that Tommy can succed here in Hamburg.
