Valentin Vacherot is a Monégasque right-hander whose rise through the Challenger ranks and into the ATP Tour has made him one of the most notable breakout stories from Monaco's small tennis scene. A cousin of fellow tour player Arthur Rinderknech, he built his game on steady baseline tennis before an unexpected deep run at a Masters-level event brought him into the world's top ranks and considerably higher attention than his ranking history had previously suggested.
