Valentin Vacherot continues to make history in tennis, having now surpassed a Roger Federer record in Masters 1000 tournaments, placing him near Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal.

Just three weeks after stunning cousin Arthur Rinderknech in the Shanghai final, Valentin Vacherot did it again—this time on French soil at the Paris Masters.

The Monégasque's run to the Shanghai Masters title was the men's tennis Cinderella story of the year. Now the next phase begins.

Vacherot capitalized on Djokovic's visible physical struggles to pull off one of the biggest upsets in ATP Masters 1000 history

With this win, Felix Auger-Aliassime closes to 145 points of Musetti in the Live Race to Turin. A trip to the Paris final would see him surpass the Italian and secure a strong position for his second Nitto ATP Finals appearance, following his 2022 qualification.

"I'm speechless. Victory over Novak brought a huge amount of emotion. Just stepping onto the court with the most decorated player of all time was incredible. Being able to compete against him and win is something I will never forget," Valentin Vacherot said.
