When you are the 204th tennis player in the world and take such a big step by winning the Shanghai Masters, it is clear that you will attract the attention of the media, the public, tennis experts and fans.
Valentin Vacherot surprised everyone with his victory at the Shanghai Masters and opened the door for his future.
The public is already asking questions about his career and the coming weeks and months.
Andy Roddick analyzed the Monegasque's performances during a podcast, aware that this is the ideal opportunity for him to take even greater steps.
His story is almost unreal and really shows how hard work and desire can bring an athlete to the very top.

Special story
His story is truly unique, as just a few weeks ago, as Roddick points out, Vacherot lost to the 300-something and 800-something players on the ATP list. In addition, Rodick compared his situation to that of Emma Raduccanu, pointing to the fact that the Monegasque has won 20 matches, eight of them in the same tournament.
Andy Roddick didn't forget to praise Vacherot's class after this tournament, as he seemed more focused on showing respect for his cousin, Arthur Rinderknech, than realizing the opportunity he had in front of him.
Each subsequent match will be a serious challenge for him, but this victory certainly made his job easier, raised him high on the tennis scene and showed once again how unpredictable tennis is.
