Will be interesting to see how far he and his brother can go. Impressive results so far. I'm assuming Mikael will be playing in the under 14 Orange Bowl?
He played in a challenger event a few monthes ago against the top seed, and a top 100 player, Grega Zemlja, and was up a set and break, but couldn't cloes out the match.
Elias made the semis before losing to Pedro Sousa in straight sets. A sensational week and I'm assuming he will be backing up in next week's tournament in Portugal. Mikael is now into the final of the juniors tournament in Norway as well.
Mikael is playing Marko Osmakcic who made it to the finals of the u14 orange bowl. Both players seem destined for a bright future, so I'm going to keep an eye on who wins that one.
Elias Ymer Playing 54 Trofeo Bonfiglio Junior event
His side of the draw
Elias YMER (SWE) [7] vs Matteo DONATI (ITA) (WC)
Diego PEDRAZA (COL) vs Adrian OBERT (GER) (Q)
Johannes HAERTEIS (GER) vs Young Seok KIM (KOR)
Jacopo STEFANINI (ITA) (WC) vs Nicolas JARRY (CHI) [10]
It's exciting that these kids have a solid environment to develop in, guarded by Magnus Norman et al. A guy like Daniel Berta had absolutely no guidance at all. Hopefully Elias gets to hit some balls with Grigor and Stan during training periods.
Ellias Side of the Draw for AEGON Junior International Roehampton
Pedro CACHIN (ARG) [9] vs Joshua SAPWELL (GBR) (WC) Elias YMER (SWE) vs Harry BOURCHIER (AUS)
Seong Chan HONG (KOR) vs Benjamin BONZI (FRA)
Billy HARRIS (GBR) (WC) vs Filippo BALDI (ITA) [7]
Guillermo NUNEZ (CHI) [14] vs Lucas GOMEZ (MEX)
Stefan KOZLOV (USA) vs Joshua SAPWELL (GBR) (WC)
Harry BOURCHIER (AUS) vs Qualifier/LL Elias YMER (SWE) vs Alexander ZVEREV (GER) [3]
I think this kid will have a great future. I know he's not on top of the juniors or anything, but I just have a really good feeling about him. I think that he'll play Futures all this year and next year, and then hopefully after that Magnus Norman will decide he wants to coach a Swedish kid. Sweden has so many good coaches that this kid should end up with one, and I think Magnus Norman (who coaches where this kid trains) would be a great fit.
