It became a victory in the round of 16 over the Swiss pair Marco Krattiger and Leo Diller in two straight sets, 21–16, 23–21.
Very big and very important. We have never been in the quarterfinals in an elite 16 competition. In terms of opposition, we have beaten better teams, says Elmer Andersson to SVT.
Elite 16 is the highest level on the world tour.
Recently, the talents, 20 and 18 years old, won the world tour competition at home in Malmö, but then it was about the challenger level.
The quarterfinals will be played on Saturday and there the Brazilian pair Evandro/Arthur Lanci are waiting.
It's just a matter of going in and doing it even better than today, says 18-year-old Andersson.
The Olympic Games gold pair David Åhman and Jonatan Hellvig are not playing in Gstaad. Hellvig has been struggling with an abdominal muscle injury and recently the pair had to interrupt a competition in Poland.
