Tommy Haas
Tommy Haas reached No. 2 in the world in May 2002, built on an Australian Open run that beat Roger Federer in five sets. Shoulder surgery followed within months and never really let go: four Australian Open semi-finals and a Wimbledon semi-final in 2009 bracket a career of rebuilds after the knife. At the Sydney Olympics in 2000 he beat Federer again en route to the final, then lost a five-setter to Yevgeny Kafelnikov for silver, Germany's best men's singles result since 1912.
No comeback matched 2012 into 2013, when Haas climbed from outside the top 200 back to No. 22, beat world No. 1 Novak Djokovic in Miami and won Munich, both a month after turning 35. He kept winning tour matches into his 39th year, the oldest man to do so since Jimmy Connors. Nine operations, on the shoulder, hip, ankle and foot, punctuate 17 career titles won in whatever window his body allowed. He retired in March 2018 at Indian Wells, the tournament he already ran as director, and still runs today.
