Yshai Oliel (Hebrew: ישי עוליאל; born January 5, 2000) is an Israeli junior tennis player.
Oliel is a two-time Junior Orange Bowl champion, having won in 2012 and 2014. He also, with Patrik Rikl, won the 2016 French Open Boys' Doubles title.
Oliel is originally from Ramla, Israel, and is left-handed. His parents, Avraham and Floret Oliel, are Jews who are originally from Morocco. He is the youngest of their five children. As a teenager he grew long, shoulder-length hair. But because his sister told him it was getting to be too much and that it was time "to be a man", he cut his hair and donated it to children undergoing cancer treatment.
Oliel started playing tennis at the age of 5.
Oliel won the Junior Orange Bowl in the 12-and-under singles category in 2012, while he was in 7th grade. He returned at 13 years of age, ranked first in the tournament, to win the 2014 Junior Orange Bowl in the 14-and-under singles category. That made him one of only nine tennis players to win the Junior Orange Bowl championship twice in its 70-year history, which list includes Andy Murray, Jimmy Connors, Jennifer Capriati, and Monica Seles.
As a 15-year-old in 2015, Oliel was ranked # 48 among players 18-and-younger.
Oliel, at age 16, and Patrik Rikl of the Czech Republic won the 2016 French Open Boys' Doubles title, defeating Chung Yun-seong and Orlando Luz in the final 6–3, 6–4. Oliel said: "It helped that there were hundreds of Israelis and members of the Jewish community that came along to Roland Garros to cheer me along. I feel very proud to be out there representing Israel." He became the fourth Israeli to win a junior grand slam title, joining Dudi Sela (who won the same title in 2003), Anna Smashnova, and Shahar Peer, all of whom went on to become top-30 players.
