Moments before the match, Tommy Haas sat in his changeover chair jiggling his legs, eager to face the world's No. 1-ranked player and old enough to know such chances don't often come along.
Haas took advantage Tuesday night, beating three-time champion Novak Djokovic in the fourth round of the Sony Open 6-2, 6-4. The upset snapped Djokovic's 14-match winning streak at Key Biscayne, where he won the tournament the previous two years.
Eight days shy of his 35th birthday, Haas became the oldest man in 30 years to beat a No. 1 player.
