The Shanghai Masters finalists play this week at the Basel Open
The fairytale of Valentin Vacherot will continue this week after the unforgettable events of Shanghai Masters 2025, where this 26-year-old Monegasque, who was ranked World No. 204 at the beginning of the tournament and almost didn’t enter the tournament, beat all their rivals (often from one set behind), including Novak Djokovic in semi-finals, and ended up taking the big prize.
Vacherot jumped from World No. 204 to World No. 40 in one week, and earned $1,124,380, nearly twice than all his earnings from his career ($594,077).
