"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.
