Playing against Sinner would be an honor," says Vacherot
In an interview given to Corriere della Sera, Valentin Vacherot spoke about Jannik Sinner. Freshly arrived in the Top 100, the Monegasque stated he wants to play against the Italian one day.
He states: "He's a fantastic person... He always wishes me good luck in tournaments, even when I'm playing in the Challengers. I thought I was going to face him in Shanghai...
And I told myself: 'Playing against Jannik is the best thing that could happen to me.' I watched his match against Griekspoor and his withdrawal, and I thought I would have more chances.
We've never trained together, but we've always been side by side. I often run into him at the gym, in the locker rooms... He's a great guy, he always wishes me good luck in tournaments, even when I'm playing in the Challengers. I hope to play against him soon, it would be an honor.
