Kouame's Rapid Rise Continues in Montpellier
Moise Kouame has made headlines this season after a perfect start to the year, lifting back-to-back ITF titles last month.
That hot streak earned him a chance in the Montpellier qualifiers, and the 16-year-old seized it with both hands, producing two gritty three-set wins to reach the main draw.
This will mark Kouame's first-ever main-draw appearance at tour level. He had previously fallen in qualifying at the Madrid Masters and the French Open last season.

Kovacevic Defending Big Points
Aleksandar Kovacevic enjoyed the best week of his tour-level career in Montpellier last year, making a stunning run on his tournament debut.
Coming through qualifying, he won six matches in total, including victories over Alexander Bublik and Andrey Rublev, before falling in a tight three-set final to Felix Auger-Aliassime.
That breakout run now puts significant pressure on him to defend a large chunk of ranking points this week.
His 2026 form has been mixed so far, opening with a semifinal run in Brisbane before losing three of his next four matches and struggling to find consistency.

Verdict
Kouame's unbeaten start to 2026, the confident qualifying run he put together over the weekend, and the strong home support he will receive in the first round all combine to make him a tough opponent to beat.
That said, his lack of experience makes him hard to trust against a tour-level regular like Aleksandar Kovacevic, who will also be motivated to defend big ranking points, making Kovacevic combined with over 19.5 games the best betting approach here.
