In Shanghai, the Monegasque Valentin Vacherot achieved the most remarkable feat of his career, and it hasn't gone unnoticed by the radar of French tennis's top decision-makers.

Questioned by RMC Sport, Cédric Pioline, director of the Rolex Paris Masters, discussed the possibility of a wild-card for the season's final Masters 1000 tournament.

"A wild-card for Valentin Vacherot? Today, after his feat in Shanghai, it's really a question that's being asked. He has already submitted his request. We will meet to discuss it."

Ranked 204th before his victory in China, the 26-year-old player is now 40th in the ATP rankings: a very rare progression on the circuit.
