Swiss Teen Henry Bernet Wins Australian Open Junior Title on 18th Birthday

Bernet becomes the first Swiss player to claim the title, drawing comparisons to Roger Federer while charting his own path.

Henry Bernet defeated American Benjamin Willwerth 6-3, 6-4 in the Australian Open boys' final, marking his first junior Grand Slam title.
The victory makes Bernet the first Swiss player to win the Australian Open junior singles title, an achievement Roger Federer never accomplished.
Bernet turned 18 on the day of his win and credited inspiration from Swiss tennis legends Roger Federer and Stan Wawrinka for his success.
He recently partnered with Severin Luthi, Federer’s former coach, and shares a connection with Federer through their Basel roots and similar playing styles.
Ranked 784th globally, Bernet's junior title adds to his promising career, which includes a strong ATP Challenger debut last season.
