The 26-year-old has shown remarkable composure after his shock win against Rinderknech in the Shanghai Masters final earlier this month, where he became the lowest-ranked ATP Masters 1000 champion since 1990. Vacherot admitted that playing against family brings extra tension. “I did feel a lot more tension than I did yesterday. Was that because it was Arthur on the other side of the net? Maybe,” he said.
