A stunning brawl broke out between two junior tennis players when the loser slapped his opponent after losing in the first round of an ITF juniors tournament in Ghana on Monday.
French tennis star Michal Kouame faced Ghana’s Raphael Nii Ankrah on centre court in Accra. The 15-year-old appeared to go in for the handshake before slapping Ankrah in the face, shocking those in attendance.
It is unclear why Kouame slapped Ankrah, although it is likely the teenager was frustrated at losing in the first round. The incident sparked an all-out brawl, with footage captured and posted on social media.
