Sweden’s Mikael Ymer advanced to the second round of Wimbledon by winning against German Daniel Altmaier 6-3, 7-5, 7-5 at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in London on Tuesday afternoon.

Ymer, ranked No 88, will face Italian Jannik Sinner, the No 10 seed, in the second round.

It has been a good Tuesday for the Ymer family so far with brother Mikael Ymer moving into main draw as a lucky loser after Matteo Berrettini pulled out of the tournament on account of a positive COVID-19 result.
