\n <\/p>\n
Moise Kouame\u2019s had a month to remember. The 17-year-old Frenchman earned his maiden ATP Masters 1000 win in Miami in March and then made his Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters debut this week, falling to Ugo Humbert.<\/p>\n
On Wednesday, the teenager enjoyed another highlight when he practised with Jannik Sinner at the Monte-Carlo Country Club. The pair rallied for 90 minutes in an intense but relaxed session, exchanging smiles and laughter in a valuable learning experience for the rising Frenchman.<\/p>\n
Currently No. 334 in the PIF ATP Rankings, Kouame is the youngest player inside the Top 800. His rapid ascent has not gone unnoticed. The 17-year-old is mentored by Richard Gasquet and even received a congratulatory message from Novak Djokovic following his Miami breakthrough.<\/p>\n
