US EditionWith a little help from his friends, Vacherot reaches Monte Carlo semis
The unseeded Monegasque saved multiple break points and beat Alex de Minaur 6-4, 3-6, 6-3 to join the world’s top three in the semifinals.
- On Friday, unseeded Monegasque Valentin Vacherot defeated Alex de Minaur 6-4, 3-6, 6-3 to reach the semi-finals at the Monte Carlo Open, cheered on by childhood friends.
- Following a spectacular rise over the past six months, Vacherot moved from 285th last year to the top 20, an ascent that began at October's Shanghai Masters.
- Joining the Monegasque in the semi-finals are the world's top three seeds: Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner, and Alexander Zverev, with Sinner extending his Masters 1000 winning streak to 20 matches.
- Vacherot will face top-ranked Alcaraz on Saturday, calling it "such an honour" to compete against the world's best.
- The potential Sinner-Alcaraz final would mark the top two players' first duel on clay since last year's French Open, though Sinner must first overcome Zverev, who defeated Brazilian teenager Joao Fonseca.
