First Round Win. Now Come the Tests.

Tuesdays with Junior | Ep 20 | May 19, 2026

What does it take to step into a tournament for the first time — and walk away with a win? For Junior Hakizumwami, Love All Scholar at the Mouratoglou Academy in Biot, France, that’s just Tuesday.

Round One: Done

Junior’s tournament kicked off this week, and he came out with exactly the result the preparation was for. “I just started my tournament today and I won my first round,” he said. “I’m feeling good and I’m ready for more matches to come — and to give my best.”

That quiet confidence is earned. It’s built from months of training at one of the world’s top tennis academies — training made possible by a Love All Scholarship that gave him access to the kind of infrastructure most talented young athletes never reach.

The Real Tests Are Coming

But here’s what sets Junior apart from a typical tournament competitor: he’s not just thinking about the next match.

“Next week I have a couple of tests to do,” he shared. “I’ll have to find a way to balance my matches and take the tests as well — and get good grades.”

That sentence carries everything the Kodjoe Family Foundation is built on. Academic equity doesn’t happen after the sport. It happens alongside it. The scholarship is engineered to hold both at once — and so is Junior.

The Blueprint in Motion

This is what opportunity paired with infrastructure actually looks like. A young man in the south of France, competing in a tournament by day, preparing for exams by week’s end, and carrying both with intention.

Junior is 20 episodes in. The wins are compounding — on the court and in the classroom.
