Has a star been born? The year's start for Moise Kouamé, a gem of world tennis at just 16 years old, is starting to look very scary. The Frenchman clinched the ITF Futures title in Bressuire this afternoon, in his homeland, achieving his second consecutive crown. Still undefeated in 2026, he is the youngest French player to win two professional titles in 24 years, since Richard Gasquet did it in 2002. Not only that: he has earned a spot in the top-560, nearing the top 500 in the world at a very young age. With such physique and mental strength on the court, it seems like only a matter of time before we see Moise in the big leagues.

Youngest Frenchman to win two professional titles since Richard Gasquet in 2002.
Will enter the top 560 best tennis players in the world at 16 years old.
I'm from the future: he will receive Wild Cards in Miami, Madrid, and Roland Garros. pic.twitter.com/Idjb3kVUsh
