Michael Mmoh resurrects the strip-tennis celebration

You may not have heard the name Michael Mmoh before, but you're about to learn a lot about him. What's more, you're likely to hear much more from him, and his racquet, in the months and years to come. The 17-year-old Saudi-born American won last week's Godfrey ITF Futures tournament and celebrated by laying bare his claim to power.

He didn't stop there, though. In the wake of hoisting that championship trophy, Mmoh entered this week's USTA Boys' 18s and 16s event in Kalamazoo, Michigan, and found another opportunity to doff his shirt.

His competition has taken notice, too, as evidenced by Ryan Harrison's own Tweet.

Here's the thing: At 17, Mmoh has risen to No. 486 in the ATP World Tour rankings. While he's no preternaturally major-winning Michael Chang, no one is a teen king in professional men's tennis anymore. Those days are long gone. Mmoh, along with Frances Tiafoe and others in his post-millennial age group, has growing up to do. Even so, their futures—and recent performances in Futures events—remain bright.

But back to the bare essentials now. Mmoh has his work cut out for him if he wants to pull off a truly dramatic post-championship strip session. Exhibit A:

Mmoh power to you, Novak.
