Roland Garros shock: 17-year-old Moise Kouame wins on Grand Slam debut

Two non-contradictory thoughts: 1. Adam Walton was seriously impressive, particularly in that marathon 4-4 game in the fifth. 2. Given his demons here, I think Daniil Medvedev could lose to truly anyone on tour in a French Open first round. #RolandGarros

Walton d. Daniil Medvedev 6-2 1-6 6-1 1-6 6-4 at Roland Garros World No. 97 gets the biggest win of his life. First top 10 win of his career. Big upset 🇦🇺

17, 81 - Moise Kouame (17 years 81 days) is now the youngest player in the Open Era to defeat a Grand Slam champion in the Men's Singles at Roland Garros, surpassing Michael Chang (17 years 97 days) en route to the title in 1989. Wow. #RolandGarros | @rolandgarros.com
