Sometimes, dreams come true. And this is the case of what is happening at the ATP Shanghai 2025. Against all odds, Arthur Rinderknech and Valentin Vacherot will battle in the grand final of the Masters 1000 for the trophy, cousin against cousin, after celebrating their semifinal victory together.

Excitement is guaranteed not only within the family group, which has been a bit crazy these last few days, but also on the court between Rinderknech and Vacherot. Moments after confirming the comeback in the semifinals of the ATP Shanghai 2025 against Daniil Medvedev, the French tennis player talked about his feelings with the media.

"The unimaginable dream, it was unimaginable. Not even in the biggest dream could we have imagined it. It's a dream that couldn't even exist in the beginning. I don't even know where it comes from, how it happened. I suppose we must have done something good to the people around us to deserve living something like this, because it's incredible," Arthur confessed.

"I lost the first set. At night, the conditions are much slower, the ball wasn't going anywhere. I just couldn't get past Medvedev. He defended very well. I couldn't, the ball wasn't going very fast. I lost the first set. I was getting tired with the night's humidity and I thought, 'Well, I'm going to fight, try to make him at least tired for Valentin tomorrow, so that he's a bit more tired physically than him.' I tried to help him today if I lost. Somehow, I broke his serve. Then I got into the third set and no one knows what can happen. I found a way."

His relationship with Valentin Vacherot

"We played together in training thousands of times at Texas A&M. When we were 10, 12, and 14 years old, we played many hours of tennis together. Tomorrow there will be two winners no matter what. Tomorrow night there will be two winners anyway. There will be a match, of course, but today we won everything, we couldn't win more."
