Valentin Vacherot's fantasy in this season's finale is not stopping at the Rolex Paris Masters, where he has reached the quarterfinals after three significant victories. Will he be able to make history again? We hear his words after this morning's triumph.

Perhaps more than one thought that Valentin Vacherot's success was going to be short-lived, but this Rolex Paris Masters 2025 is confirming that the Monegasque's talent extends well beyond those magical fifteen days in Shanghai. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to defeat Lehecha, Rinderknech, and Norrie these days to advance to the quarterfinals, becoming the first player to reach this round. Tremendous performance from the man of the moment, who analyzed everything going through his mind a few hours ago before finding out who his next opponent will be.

"Anything is possible in this sport, at any time, that's tennis," Vacherot asserts when asked repeatedly where he came from. "Obviously, I did not expect to progress in this tournament this way. Luckily, I am still in the draw, enjoying the matches much more than in Shanghai. It's very fun playing here; I just hope to keep going forward, although it's exhausting. I'm not getting much free time; normally, you would have two days to regroup, but that's not the case this time. Fortunately, today's match didn't last so long, so I'll have some more time to recover for tomorrow," added the man who will now face Aliassime or Altmaier.

Two weeks ago, he was outside the top 200, but in January, we will see him seeded in Australia. Surprised? "Before suffering a serious injury, I was already at 110th place. I had a lot of points to defend, so that's why I dropped in the rankings. What my team and I find crazy is that I played much better this year than last year. For me, reaching the quarterfinals is still very tough since I didn't make it to many semifinals or finals. The point is that I still believe in myself; maybe what was abnormal was being at #204 in the rankings. I knew I could play better; I knew my level was closer to the top 100, even that I could break into the top 50," acknowledges the energetic Monegasque.

This is how Valentin Vacherot feels playing against the French crowd

What Valentin won't experience is playing in front of his people until the spring arrives and he competes in the Monte Carlo Masters. How is it to play in the neighboring country? How does the French audience behave towards Vacherot? Do they treat him as one of their own, or is that too much to say? The 26-year-old player, who has had various experiences throughout this week in Paris, discussed this.

"Today, I was able to enjoy it a lot, although if we compare it with yesterday... well, yesterday's match was more challenging because I felt more tension. Today, I really managed to step onto the court and play freely, hitting harder, although Cameron plays very well. My impression is that I managed to ignite the crowd whenever I needed it; the audience was very present. Everyone participated in the match as much as they could and wanted to; everyone enjoyed the match, and I was the first to enjoy it," concluded the native of Roquebrune-Cap-Martin.
