Shirtless Tommy Haas Practice in Cincy 2013
Sure we’re cutting it close, but this still counts toward Haasember, a month featuring our very favorite photos of the very handsome Tommy Haas. Perhaps next year we can devote even more days to the photogenic German and his penchant for sweating his way through multiple shirts, to the point where he finally decides it’s pointless to bother wearing one.
(See Tommy in black & white perfection, in our Beauty of Tennis Series!)
We got very close to Tommy during his vigorous, and lengthy, tennis practice with his coach Christian Groh. It began with stretching exercises, then actual court time with ever-increasing intensity. (You can see Part 1 of this photo series here.)
We’ve tried to capture a variety of aspects of Tommy’s game, his movement and strength. Losing the shirt gives us a chance to see all the muscles in play for every shot, the lines and angles of his body, and a hint of the personality behind it all. And the hotness, of course, which is impossible to ignore.
Enjoy the photos! As always, *CLICK* the pics for larger, sometimes IMMENSE versions of the Tommy photographs.
We can start with the beautiful backhand…
Running and stretching and swinging hard on those forehands…
Just your average between-shots hot Haas moments…
