This Friday, Moïse Kouamé qualified for the semi-finals of the M15 in Monastir by beating Felipe Virgili Berini. In the other part of the table, Nicolas Tepmahc will also see the last four of the tournament.
During this end-of-year holiday season, Moïse Kouamé is not idle. Indeed, if many players are currently resting while waiting to start the 2026 season in Oceania, the young Frenchman (16 years old) is currently in Tunisia, where he is playing in the M15 in Monastir. After eliminating the local Omar Knani then his compatriot Robin Bertrand during the first rounds, the native of Sarcelles won this Friday against Felipe Virgili Berini in two sets (6-4, 6-0), during the quarter-finals.
Facing the Italian, who is not ranked, the current 894th in the world in the ATP rankings initially had to battle in the first round, before losing in the second and inflicting a scathing 6-0 on his opponent of the day. Authoritarian during this tournament which is played on hard court, Kouamé, who has not yet dropped a set, therefore brilliantly qualified for the semi-finals in Monastir.
A final between French people in Monastir?
In the next round, which will be held this Saturday, the young Frenchman will try to qualify for his first final on the ITF circuit, having already reached the semi-finals in this tournament category last April in Antalya (Turkey). To do this, he will have to beat the Indian Manas Dhamne (588th in the world), who has just defeated the German Mika Petkovic in three sets (4-6, 6-0, 6-4).
In the other part of the table, we find another Frenchman, namely Nicolas Tepmahc. Falling the Lebanese Mustapha El Natour then the Turk Kerem Yilmaz during the first two rounds, the current 772nd in the world took advantage of the abandonment this Friday of the Australian Chen Dong (at 6-2) to reach the last four of the tournament in Monastir. In the half, Tepmahc will face the Bulgarian Petr Nesterov (587th in the world), who took out the Italian Juan Cruz Martin Manzano (6-2, 7-6), during the quarter-finals. We could therefore witness a 100% French final this Sunday.
