Career

Ngounoue won the 2023 Wimbledon junior title, defeating Nikola Bartůňková in the final.[8] On the ITF Junior Circuit, she climbed the top of the world rankings on 5 June 2023. Ngounoue also won the 2022 Australian Open girls' doubles event, partnering with Diana Shnaider.[9] She also won the girls' doubles title at the 2023 French Open, alongside partner Tyra Caterina Grant, against the top seeds Alina Korneeva and Sara Saito.[10] [11]
Ngounoue qualified at the 2025 Indian Wells making her WTA 1000 debut.[12]
