    With the Stankovic Cup just around the corner, Germany's central striker Nowitzki is attracting attention. But who knows, Nowitzki was once a very talented tennis player, but he was unable to win a youth championship as a teenager. After that, he chose basketball and became a star on the NBA court.

    The young man who once beat Nowitzki at the German Youth Championship was named Haas, who later opted for professional tennis.

    Tennis is much more well-known than basketball in Germany, and the country has produced some of the best players in the tennis world, such as Becker and Graf. The young Nowitzki was also influenced by the strong tennis atmosphere around him.

    However, Nowitzki's path to tennis has not been smooth. At the Bavarian Youth Championships, he always lost in the final to a young man named Tommy Haas. The two men are about the same age and are very big, but Haas has more talent in tennis than Nowitzki.

    After realizing that he could never win against this opponent, Nowitzki gave up tennis in favor of basketball. "I hate the feeling of failure, but I can still do something for Germany now, not tennis but basketball. Nowitzki said.

    An NBA star, Nowitzki has become one of the best basketball players in the world. In the last World Basketball Championships, he became the Most Valuable Player. Perhaps, he should be grateful to Haas, who once made him despair of tennis.

    Nowitzki's natural enemy, Haas, went on to go on to professional tennis, and he was held in high esteem by critics. It is believed that this player with both strength and talent can dominate the tennis world like Becker. But Haas's path to professional tennis has been a very tortuous, and he has taken a break from tennis many times due to injury, and each time he has come back tenaciously.

    In 2002, he was ranked No. 2 in the world. But in 2003, he didn't compete for almost a year.

    Haas just won the Los Angeles Country Open, his third title of the year. Nowitzki, who had just lost his title in the NBA Finals, was looking forward to winning his first World Championship title ——— his life, sometimes missing only a turn.

    Most people call him Tommy Haas hehe.
