It’s the latest twist in a convoluted saga for the Swede, who reached a career-high No. 50 last year before he received an 18-month suspension for missing three drug tests back in 2021.

Just 24, the former world No. 50 ended a social media post by saying, "I wish all my old colleagues well going forward in competition."

The top-ranked American man dropped to 4-3 on the year in major matches, while the Swede picked up his first Top 10 win in 11 attempts.

"I cannot do anything about the past," Ymer said in a brief interview with The Associated Press.

The Swedish tennis player slammed his racquet into the bottom of the umpire's chair multiple times, leaving the stand damaged and his racquet in tatters.

The 19-year-old was ranked No. 79 on this day a year ago.

The world No. 8 notched his 14th consecutive win Wednesday by squeaking past qualifier Mikael Ymer in 3 hours and 30 minutes.

Brothers Elias Ymer and Mikael Ymer keep coming through for Sweden in the Davis Cup Finals.

Meanwhile, Daria Kasatkina returns to the Top 10—and even sets a new career-high—after winning San Jose.

Karatsev is 8-19 in his last 27 matches and now faces Ymer, who is brimming with confidence after a win over Andy Murray.
