Brawl Erupts After Teen Tennis Player SLAPS His Opponent!

A brawl broke out at a juniors tennis tournament in Ghana when a teenage tennis player slapped his opponent after losing a match.
In a video circulating around Twitter, 15-year-old Michael Kouame of France — who is currently ranked No. 589 on the ITF Junior Rankings and was the No. 1 seed heading into the tournament — appeared to shake hands with his opponent Raphael Nii Ankrah of Ghana when he instead smacked him across the face.
Though what prompted the slap is unknown, Ankrah defeated Kouame 2-6 7-6 6-7 in the first round of the ITF juniors tournament in Accra.
In a separate clip, which appears to have been filmed moments later, a number of people were seen getting physical with one another on the court.

While it is unclear if Kouame will face consequences for his actions, he is scheduled to play Ishmael Nii Nortey Dowuona in the second round.
Ankrah — who is ranked No. 1688 on the ITF Junior Rankings — played a doubles match on Tuesday against Italy’s Davide Brunetti and France’s Mickael Kaouk.
