The Monegasque tennis player has explained what he will need to do if he wants to defeat the number one in the world in front of his people, in his first semifinals in this tournament.
Valentin Vacherot is not a one-day wonder, nor of a single tournament. After winning the Shanghai Masters 1000 in 2025, the Monegasque tennis player has shown that he has reached the top of the ATP rankings to stay, and at the Montecarlo Masters 1000 2026, he has already made it to the semifinals to dream of winning the most special and important title of his career. Tomorrow he will face Carlos Alcaraz for a spot in the final, and at least he has already secured leaving Monaco as the number 17 in the world, his best ranking. If he defeats the Spanish player, he will move up to number 14, and if he wins the tournament, he will rise to number 12. Truly one of the most incredible stories in this sport.

Francis Roig has embarked on a new journey as the coach of Iga Swiatek, just a few weeks after parting ways with Emma Raducanu. According to Brad Gilbert, former coach of players like André Agassi, Andy Murray, and Coco Gauff, this new partnership will allow him to demand more from the Polish tennis player than from the British one in a key aspect. "The big difference between Swiatek and Raducanu is the movement. Iga is probably the second-best mover on the women's circuit, only behind Coco. So, if he or Rafa want her to extend the points, she can do it. I think Emma maybe doesn't feel able to do so. She probably needs to incorporate that into her game," acknowledged on the podcast 'Big T'.

The battle for the number one spot in the ATP ranking between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner is hotter than ever. In fact, everything will be decided at the Monte Carlo Masters 1000 in 2026. Both are in the tournament's semifinals, and now everything will depend on what happens on Saturday and Sunday. If Sinner wins the tournament, he will be the world number one no matter what, while if Alcaraz wins, he would retain the top spot. However, if the Italian tennis player reaches the final and the Spaniard does not, Alcaraz would also lose the crown of the ATP ranking. In other words, from now on, Alcaraz is obliged to achieve a better outcome than the player from San Candido.
