ATP Paris: Vacherot defeats Rinderknech once again!

The Monegasque player scores another victory against Rinderknech and continues his incredible climb towards the world Top 30.

Two weeks after triumphing over his cousin Arthur Rinderknech in the final of the Shanghai Masters 1000 (4-6, 6-3, 6-3), the Monegasque player once again got the better of the Frenchman (6-7, 6-3, 6-4) after a thrilling battle lasting 2 hours and 54 minutes.

An important victory, his 11th in his last 12 matches, which propels him into the round of 16 of the Rolex Paris Masters. Furthermore, the 26-year-old player boasts an impressive record of 9 wins against only 2 losses versus the Top 50 this season. Performances that, just a year ago, seemed unthinkable.

While the Shanghai victory had already made an impression, this new confrontation in Paris took on the feel of a drama series. Intense rallies, powerful aces, and a crowd that showed up.

Next obstacle: Cameron Norrie, world number 31 and conqueror of the world number one, Alcaraz, in the previous round. If he wins, the Monegasque player could move closer to the top 30.
