SPORTFIVE Strengthens Emerging Tennis Roster With Signing of Nathan Trouvé

Hamburg, 21 May 2026 – SPORTFIVE has added Nathan Trouvé to its projectFIVE athlete portfolio on an NIL agreement, continuing the strategic growth of its tennis representation business.

Trouvé, a French prospect born in 2006, is regarded as one of the most promising players of his generation. He has achieved a career-high ITF junior ranking inside the world’s top 20 and has already recorded ATP Tour and Challenger-level experience. Following his graduation from the Rafa Nadal International School in 2024, Trouvé has pursued a high‑performance hybrid pathway through the US collegiate system, combining academic competition with continued professional development.

Currently representing the University of Southern California, one of the leading collegiate tennis programs in the United States, Trouvé has quickly emerged as a top‑lineup force. During his first two seasons, he has proven his impact at the highest level of NCAA competition, earning Big Ten All‑Freshman Team recognition and consistently delivering decisive performances against nationally ranked opposition in both singles and doubles.

His signing follows the successful introduction of Justin Engel to the projectFIVE roster, whose early breakthroughs have helped establish the platform’s credibility and momentum within elite men’s tennis.

Through projectFIVE, Trouvé will be supported with tailored representation covering sponsorship acquisition, marketing strategy and brand development, enabling a structured transition from junior and collegiate competition to the professional tour.

Speaking on the announcement, Charly Steeb - projectFIVE said, “Nathan represents the type of emerging talent we are focused on supporting – technically strong, ambitious and already gaining valuable experience across elite junior, collegiate and professional environments. His profile and mindset make him a highly compelling addition to our tennis roster.”
