Sweden’s Elias Ymer eyes for a comeback in Chennai Open ATP Challenger 2025. Elias hasn’t won a single professional circuit since 2018. While he was ranked as high as 105, he is currently out of even the top 300. But despite all the fallbacks, he aspires to make a significant comeback into his professional life.
Ymer, a inducted in the crossover into the business program in 2022. He suggested while talking to Sportstar that if someone is playing on the ATP tour, Harvard chooses 2 to 3 people every year.
“If you’re playing on the ATP Tour, they choose two to three players every year. I was lucky to be selected and to have it on my CV is a very big thing.
“When people ask you about it, you get a lot of respect. Maybe it’s nothing in Sweden where we come from but as soon as I’m in America and people see that I’ve been to Harvard, it is very good,”
Howard’s family background is also a decorated one. His mother is a doctor why his father is an industrial worker he did not go to high school so being inducted in Harvard was a milestone for him.
“I’ve been around the Top 200 or inside it for almost 10 years, so it’s been pretty solid. But last year was pretty tough. And that’s life. Sometimes, you have a difficult year. The most important thing is how you regroup and come back from these things.
“With good preparation and this being my first tournament of the year, I’m very happy to be in the semifinal,” said Ymer after his 6-2, 6-3 win over Japan’s Rio Noguchi.
The Swedish hopes that the Indian tour for 4 Challenger starting from Chennai, can help him regain his spot in the top hundred for the first time in his career.
