Moise Kouame, born 2009

The name rang a bell, so I did a quick check:  he beat Toby Martin in three sets in Sharm (M15) at the  beginning of last month -

L16:  (JR) Moïse Kouamé (FRA) WR 1603 defeated Toby Martin WR 838 by 2-6 7-6(5) 7-6(3)

He was 15 at the time, but has now turned 16 & rose 131 places in this week's rankings to a career high 838.  He lost by 3 & 2 to van de Zandschulp (q6) in QR1.

 The question is whether he'll get a wildcard to the main draw of RG ....

It's pretty certain he'll get a qualis WC - he really is the French leading light in juniors at the moment (girls and boys) 

But I think the FFT might be itching to give a MD WC..... which would be quite something 

 Surely a year too soon for a MD WC. He's winning rounds in M25 events, but a big step up to best of 5 against a Top 100 player. But let's see. Presumably it was an 'agent' wild card into Madrid qualifying.

 Interested to know who thinks that Mark can rival Moise? Journalists? Other forums? I think Mark can go far but feel that Moise is the more dynamic player but early days!

 It is! Kotov won a 125 on clay in 2022 and has reached R3 in the French Open (the furthest he's been in a slam), so clearly pretty decent on the surface. Well done, Jake!

That's a statement win for me. This demonstrates that he's adapted to the surface and improves with every match.
