A Swiss will play in the semi-finals of the Australian Open in Melbourne. Thursday, Basel’s Henry Bernet (17 years old, ATP 784) won his ticket to the final four of the junior tournament thanks to his victory against the No. 1 seed, the Czech Jan Kumstat (18 years old). He won in two sets, both punctuated by a tie-break. The score: 7-6 (7/4) 7-6 (7/2).
Since his entry into this Grand Slam tournament, he has delivered four matches and has only lost one set, in the round of 16 against the Slovenian Ognjen Milic.
A native of Basel, from TC Old Boys and one-handed backhand specialist, just like Roger Federer, Henry Bernet recorded the arrival in his staff of Severin Lüthi, Roger Federer’s coach for fifteen years (2007-2022) and the current captain of Switzerland in the Davis Cup, as lequipe.fr wrote.
-Furthermore, the sportswear brand “On”, of which Federer is a shareholder and ambassador, has concluded a five-year commercial agreement with the young Swiss talent.
Bernet, who has won his last ten matches, will face Finnish Oskari Paldanius (17) in the semi-final. The match will take place on the night of Thursday to Friday.
