Junior player Michael Kouame speaks up on Instagram after a slap in the face

During the game, he repeatedly heard insults against himself and his mother from the audience, Kouame explained.

Nevertheless, he did not want to let these incidents pass as an excuse for his freak out.

“I was wrong and completely off track. I accept all the consequences of the ITF for my behavior. I will use the time to reflect on how I can handle such challenging situations better in the future, which is better for my character matches,” said the young Frenchman, who is ranked 606th in the junior ranking.
