Ymer's Record

Ymer will square off with his dear friend Stefanos Tsitsipas in the 3rd round. They trained together for 14 days in Melbourne during the quarantine and therefore they are well aware about their conditions and style of play

Talking about the time spent together, Ymer commented:

“They’re really fun people to be around. It felt like the practices went by pretty quick. We had some fun training, played points, played volley points. Then we had some time to eat lunch after, so it was nice. It felt a little bit like the junior days, because I spent some time with them when we were young. It was a bit of a déjà vu.”
