Valentin Vacherot scripted history on Sunday (October 12). He came from a set down to beat Arthur Rinderknech , who is also his cousin, with a 4-6, 6-3, 6-3 scoreline.

Following the match, Vacherot wrote, “ Grandpa and grandma would be proud ” on the camera. When he reached the final by knocking out the tournament’s most successful player, Novak Djokovic , in the semifinal, it made him the lowest-ranked player (No.204) to reach a championship clash of a Masters 1000 tournament (since 1990).
