Oliel continued his winning streak at the finals of the competition held in Coral Gables, Florida, defeating his opponent in two consecutive sets.

Oliel, who is considered one of the most promising tennis players in Israel today, is a resident of Ramla, a mixed Arab-Jewish city in central Israel. The young Israeli tennis player was added to an impressive list of past players who had won both the under 12 and under 14 division championships consecutively. The list includes tennis players who previously ranked first in the world and hold multiple grand slam titles – Andy Murray, Jimmy Connors, Jennifer Capriati and Monica Seles.

Only eight other tennisplayers have won both championships consecutively during their youth, predicting a promising future for the young Israeli teen tennis player.

Retired tennis player and coach Martina Navratilova, the retired Czech-American tennis player who ranked 1st in both singles and doubles during her career, was the honorary guest of the Orange Bowl and viewed the tournament.

Oliel is part of a group of young Israeli tennis players who receive financial support and professional coaching from millionaire David Cooper.
