WIMBLEDON, England, June 30 -- Of the four women who advanced to Wimbledon's semifinals, only one has lost a set. Only one has consistently berated herself over every on-court lapse of judgment and failure of will. And only one has drawn an umpire's warning for flinging her racket in a high-strung fit of self-loathing.

She is, not surprisingly, Dinara Safina, younger sister of the former No. 1 Marat Safin, whose combustible personality is widely regarded as having undermined his prodigious talent over the course of a career that's drawing to a close.

WIMBLEDON, England, July 1 -- The list is long.

And at 31, Tommy Haas has little use for revisiting the injuries and episodes of bad luck that have interrupted a tennis career so full of promise.

It started with a broken right ankle in 1995, followed by a broken left ankle in 1996. Then, a back ailment; rotator-cuff surgery, followed by a second shoulder surgery; a torn stomach muscle that forced him to pull out of Wimbledon in 2007. And it goes on.

'I don't live too much in the past,' Haas said Wednesday, after earning his improbable spot among Wimbledon's semifinalists by defeating the world's fourth-ranked player, Novak Djokovic, 7-5, 7-6 (8-6), 4-6, 6-3. 'Whatever happens, happens for a reason, I believe.'
