Hey there, fellow tennis enthusiasts It’s your girl Mia Johnson-Carter here, living the dream in Miami. I’m super excited to share with you the story of Moise Kouame, a 15-year-old tennis sensation who recently made his professional debut at the Open Saint-Brieuc Armor Agglomération Challenger in St. Brieuc, France.
Moise is no stranger to the tennis world. He’s been making waves as a junior player, ranking world no. 52 on the junior ranking list. He’s already won three titles and even reached the quarter-final stage at Roland Garros This young gun has got talent pouring out of every racket string.
So, how did Moise fare in his professional debut? Unfortunately, it wasn’t a win for him. He faced off against Jules Marie and unfortunately lost 6-4, 6-0 in an hour and 11 minutes. Despite a strong start where he broke and created another opportunity at 1-1, Jules took charge after that, winning the final eight games.
Here’s a quick rundown of what happened during their match:
- Early Break: Moise kicked off the match with a break and created another opportunity at 1-1.
- Jules Takes Charge: After that, Jules Marie took the reins, winning the final eight games.
- Break Points: The 15-year-old teenager generated three break points but couldn’t convert them.
- Second Set Bagel: In the second set, Moise squandered three game points and lost serve after a double fault. Jules then closed out the fifth game after a deuce and made a push on the return in the next one from 15-40. Moise saved a match point with a service winner before missing a forehand on the second, experiencing a bagel and finishing on the losing side.
Despite this setback, Moise’s journey is far from over. He’s already shown incredible potential at such a young age. It’s exciting to see what the future holds for him.
As we watch Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner dominate the courts (check out this awesome video of Carlos practicing with Roger Federer here), it’s inspiring to see young players like Moise following in their footsteps.
