A brawl broke out after a tennis match in Ghana on Monday,
when a 15-year-old player slapped his opponent after losing a match in the first round of an ITF juniors tournament.

Video footage shows French tennis player Michael Kouame
meeting Ghana’s Raphael Nii Ankrah at center court, where he appeared to reach for a handshake but slapped Ankrah in the face instead.

Although it is unclear what led Kouame to slap his opponent, the move sparked an all-out brawl, according to videos posted on social media.

Michael Kouame slapped his opponent, Raphael Nii Ankrah,
following a loss at a junior tournament.

The footage was initially shared by the Functional Tennis
podcast, which said Tuesday in an Instagram Story that they decided to remove the clip. A tennis coach in Ghana obtained the footage and posted it on Twitter .

Ankrah beat Kouame — who was the No. 1 seed heading into the tournament — in three sets (6-2, 6-7, 7-6) to advance to the second round, where he will face Ishmael Nii Nortey
Dowuona, also of Ghana.

Ankrah will return to the court on Tuesday for a doubles
match against Italy’s Davide Brunetti and France’s Mickael
Kaouk.

Tennis players move their hands at super speed even with a heavy racket in their hand.


Now, Just imagine getting slapped by venus or serena with free hands.

Assault cases in sports getting more common by the day.

People are just frustrated one way or the other.

He was biancanised.
They should ban his left hand. He should play with only his right hand for life.
If he slaps with the right hand, he should be banned to the legs only

I swear if na me eeh, we go fight beat ourselves for outside... I hate bad losers bcoz nobody is a born winner, we do lose

Yes, an unpleasant situation for tennis. When I play tennis, I have a lot of energy and a flame of excitement. But I never fight with my opponents. When I realize that I have questions for my opponent, or when I want to say that I don't like something, I interrupt a friendly match and tell him honestly about it. I think that's an adult approach to the game, you know. There are rules for tennis disputes in such situations. On mytennisoutfitter website, I read a lot of helpful tips for tennis players. You can find tips on how to spot foul play. There are also articles there about tennis maps of different cities.
Perhaps this French player knows nothing about sports ethics?
