Profile & career
A Wimbledon junior champion stepping up to the pro tour.
Clervie Ngounoue is an explosive and ambitious player who combines power, intensity and confidence in the crucial moments. A former world junior No. 1, she won the Wimbledon girls' title in 2023, the year she topped the junior rankings, and stands out as one of the revelations of her generation.
She is part of the Champ'seed programme at the Mouratoglou Academy. Her older sister Malkia played tennis at university, and her younger brother Carel, a junior player, is also supported by Champ'seed.
Her rapid progress on the professional tour points to a player capable of establishing herself among the world's elite in the years to come.
CAREER
Titles, year by year.
Clervie Ngounoue received a wildcard into the US Open qualifying draw in 2021, at just 15. She played her first WTA Tour match at the same tournament in 2023, losing in the first round to Australia's Daria Saville, and is still looking for her first win at that level. On the ITF circuit she has won two titles, in Dallas and Naples, and she entered the WTA top 300 in July 2024.
