Venus
Williams, who turned 32 at the weekend, could be playing in her last

player Pam Shriver. The ESPN talker said that with the auto-immune

Haas in Top Form at Halle
Tommy
Haas can dream again of achievements in tennis after the 34-year-old

grass-court title.
"I don't have many words to say really, except that it is
an amazing feeling to win another title in Germany," said the LA-based
veteran who made a comeback after hip surgery. "Winning a 13th title was
a goal for me and to maybe even achieve it at home before the end of my
career."
