Moise Kouamé has made history at Roland Garros 2026 by defeating Marin Cilic in his debut in a Grand Slam main draw and becoming the youngest player since 1991 to win a match in the tournament. He also becomes the second youngest French player to do so. In the subsequent press conference, the new French talent spoke about it.

In the days leading up to the tournament, it was mentioned that Kouamé was going through a small results crisis, and perhaps feeling the pressure on his shoulders with all eyes of the French public on him. However, the French player has shown that he can handle these situations well, defeating a Grand Slam champion like Marin Cilic in three sets. Undoubtedly, a clear statement before facing Cameron Norrie or Adolfo Daniel Vallejo in the second round.

Kouamé talks about the importance of public support at Roland Garros

Youthful player to win at a Grand Slam in 17 years

Yes, well, it's a good achievement, I would say. But, yes, first and foremost, I am very happy with the level I showed today, although of course I aim for more. All the training paid off, I would say. The most important is yet to come, so now I focus on recovering and being as prepared as possible for the next round.

Public support

It gives me a lot of energy, positive energy, in tough moments and in stressful times. Having the crowd with me is a great help, for sure. They helped me a lot to get the breaks, to secure the set. So, I am very grateful for that.

Preparing for such a match

Well, I think Miami helped me a bit because a Masters 1000 tournament is also a big one. Last year, where I played the qualifying rounds, of course, it helped me. I already knew the atmosphere I was going to experience or hear on the court. Yes, Roland Garros, Miami, Monte Carlo... I think these are important tournaments that require some experience. Today it worked wonderfully, so I am very pleased with the decisions we made together.

Strong mindset despite being 17 years old

Well, it's due to the training. I knew I had dedicated many hours to train, so the tactic was also clear for the match. If I played and lost, it was fine, I had other tournaments. Obviously, playing against a former Grand Slam champion also relaxed me in a way. I knew it was going to be a great match, a good match. Also, I knew I had the team supporting me. I had the public, a different audience... Many elements contributed to my relaxation. This is what happened, so we are happy.

Preparation before the match

I felt well-prepared. I was ready. We worked a lot on tactics, on how to approach the match with my team. I also practiced a lot on this court yesterday, and last year I practiced and played here too. I knew a bit about the atmosphere and the audience present today. As I said, the experience I gained in Miami, Monte Carlo, and also in Montpellier probably helped me because in Montpellier, the atmosphere was good too. So, regarding tennis, I felt quite relaxed, quite calm. I felt good with my serve, with my forehand... I knew that if I lost the match, it wouldn't be stressful, to be honest. I just wanted to go out and have fun, and that's what I managed to do. Now that I have won, it's even better, but if I hadn't won today, at least I would have had fun. After all, that's the most important thing.

Age is not a factor

After all, I'm 17 years old and I've won a match at a Grand Slam. I don't believe my opponent today thought, 'Oh, he's 17 years old!'. They were trying to play their best, and so was I. I didn't care about their age. I just wanted to hit them with the most challenging shots possible. So, for some, age may be a factor, but as far as I'm concerned, I tried to focus and not think about it because in the end, when you're on the court, you don't think about your age or what you're going to eat. You think about what you need to do to win.

Gasquet's help in facing all the media attention

Yes, for the moment everything is going well, very well. I am happy in my life, in my tennis life, and in my sports life in general.
I don't want to talk about Richard's past. He had his past; I have my present. What's the use in telling you whether we talk about it or not? This is my preparation, and as I have said time and time again, I have prepared well, and I am proud of it. I am happy with this. Once again, the most important thing is my recovery for the next round.
