Vacherot’s story in this tournament is even more remarkable, as he started as a substitute in the qualifying phase. His performance has been outstanding, culminating in this victory against the champion of 24 Grand Slam titles. In the final, Vacherot will face his cousin, Arthur Rinderknech, who defeated Daniil Medvedev in the other semifinal with a score of 4-6, 6-2, 6-4. Djokovic, visibly affected by a hip injury, requested medical assistance during the match. Despite the difficulties, the tennis player did not use his physical condition as an excuse.

It’s all about him. I wish him the best in the final, and the best player won today.
