Valentin Vacherot wins Shanghai Masters 2025 title

Shanghai, October 12 (IANS). Monaco’s Valentin Vacherot, 204th in the world rankings, won the Shanghai Masters 2025 title by defeating France’s Arthur Rinderknecht 4-6, 6-3, 6-3 on Sunday. This match was the ATP Masters 1000 final in history with the lowest selected. According to Xinhua report, after victory, I felt that I felt that when I realized, I had no choice but to perform my best. In the first set, I couldn’t do it, and he plays better than me. I used the first opportunity to take a break in the second set and perform better. I just tried to beat the player on the other side of the net. Valentin Vacherot and Arthur Rinderknecht are cousins. They grew up to play tennis together in the south of France. After sealing the victory, Vacherot wrote on the camera lens: “Grandma and Grandpa would be proud.” Vacherot said: “I tried to ignore the fact that he is my cousin and he is the man I practice with. It was very difficult. He handled the pressure better when I handled in the first set, but I found a way to turn it around. This is surreal what happened. I don’t understand what has been in the last two weeks. Would probably be one loss, but I think there are two winners today. Valentin Vacherot has become the lowest player to win the ATP Masters 1000 since 1990.
