Kouame says insults were being hurled at him during the match
A top-seeded junior French tennis player apologized for slapping an opponent after losing a tournament match.
Michael Kouame was the No. 1 seed going into the International Tennis Federation’s junior tournament in Ghana. After losing to Raphael Nii Ankrah on Tuesday, the 15-year-old was seen coming to the net for what was supposed to be a gesture of good sportsmanship but instead slapped Nii Ankrah.
A brawl reportedly broke out after the slap.
Kouame on Wednesday posted an apology on his Instagram page.

They must know something about slapping that I am unfamiliar with, is it in Ebony magazine or something, right along with instructions as to how not to comply with a LEO command?
