Rising Stars: Moïse Kouamé


09 06 2026

At just 17 years old, Moïse Kouamé is rapidly emerging as one of the brightest prospects in world tennis.

The French teenager has already achieved milestones that place him among the sport's most exciting young talents, including becoming the first player born in 2009 to win an ATP Tour match and the youngest player to record a Masters 1000 victory since Rafael Nadal. A former ITF junior world No 14, Kouamé has successfully transitioned to the professional circuit, collecting ITF titles, and announcing himself on the biggest stage with a breakthrough run at Roland-Garros, where he defeated former US Open champion Marin Čilić and became the youngest men's Grand Slam match winner since 2009. With opportunities ahead at ATP Challenger tournaments, Masters 1000 events, Grand Slams, and potentially the Next Gen ATP Finals, Kouamé's rapid rise suggests a Top 100 breakthrough could be on the horizon. For tennis fans searching for the next star of the men's game, Moïse Kouamé is undoubtedly one to watch.
