The Swedes got to qualify for the tournament and are now suddenly clear for Sunday's final.

When we were in Poland last week, we did not even know if we would be included. Then we were reserves for this tournament, says 18-year-old Elmer Andersson in SVT's broadcast.

The Swedes defeated the Brazilian pair George Wanderley/Andre Loyola in the semifinal in Gstaad with 21–15, 21–18.

The Brazilian pair had in the quarterfinals knocked out the Norwegian world leaders Anders Mol and Christian Sørum.

Then the Swedes had previously defeated another Brazilian pair, Evandro/Arthur Lanci, in the quarterfinal. The talents had never reached that far in an elite 16 tournament, the highest level on the world tour.

In the final, the winners of the semifinal between Cherif Younousse/Ahmed Tijan, Qatar–Stefan Boermans/Yorick de Groot, Netherlands are waiting.
