(Reuters) - Tommy Haas may be at an age when most professionals are winding down their careers but the 35-year-old German proved he still has plenty to offer with a dominant first round victory at the Delray Beach Open on Tuesday.

When fully fit, the top-seeded Haas can still compete with the very best on the tour and he confirmed his form and fitness against America's Wayne Odesnik, needing just 55 minutes to reel off a 6-2 6-1 victory at the Las Vegas event.
