French Open: Moise Kouame Continues To Rise, Reaches Third Round
PIF ATP Live Rankings: France’s Moise Kouame continued to thrive at the home Grand Slam as the newest tennis sensation in his country at the French Open, surging into the third round with a five-set victory, joining Rafael Nadal in a milestone achieved in 2003.
The 17-year-old Frenchman, playing in his first major tournament, defeated Adolfo Daniel Vallejo 6-3, 7-5, 3-6, 2-6, 7-6(8) with a vociferous crowd at Court Suzanne-Lenglen. Kouame became the youngest man to reach the third round of a major since Nadal at Wimbledon in 2003 with his four-hour, 56-minute victory.
"Winning Roland Garros is, of course, a dream," Kouame said with a smile. "Being World No. 1 is also a dream... I think thinking about winning the tournament is a bit early, but I'm really happy to be in the third round, and I'm going to try my best to win another match."
