Video: Mikael Ymer Makes Magic


Mikael Ymer made magic in a memorable ATP debut at the Stockholm Open today.

In a battle of young guns, watch the 17-year-old Swedish wild card play thrill seeker with this stunning, running over the shoulder passing shot winner against 18-year-old Alexander Zverev.

Two very cool features of this shot: 1. The slick backhand drop volley approach Ymer makes is almost as impressive as the over-the-shoulder shot and 2. His subdued, no celebration, reaction is that of a pure pro.

Ymer hit the shot of the match, but Zverev won the match posting a 7-6 (9), 6-7 (5), 6-4 victory to set up a second-round clash with top-seeded Tomas Berdych.

Ymer, a Wimbledon junior finalist currently ranked No. 3 in the ITF junior world rankings. Zverev, a former ITF junior world No. 1, share more than an affinity for crowd-pleasing shot making.

Both are brothers of ATP pros. Ymer's older brother, Elias Ymer, is currently sidelined with a shoulder injury. Zverev's older brother, Mischa Zverev, scored a 6-4, 6-1, victory in his qualifying match today to reach the main draw.
