Vacherot has had a meteoric rise over the last six months, and it all began in Shanghai last fall, where he famously won the first ATP title of his career—at a Masters 1000, no less—and surged from No. 204 to No. 40 afterwards on October 13th, 2025.
He made his Top 30 debut a few weeks later on November 3rd, 2025, jumping from No. 40 to No. 30 after reaching a second consecutive Masters 1000 quarterfinal indoors in Paris.
And now, after reaching the quarterfinals for a third time in the last five Masters 1000s, he’s projected to rise from his current ranking of No. 23 to No. 19 or No. 20 should his run end here, to No. 17 with a semifinal, to No. 15 with a final and to No. 12 with a title.
Coming into his home event, the 27-year-old was already the highest-ranked Monegasque in ATP rankings history, which dates back to 1973, and now he’s going to become the first player from his country to crack the Top 20, and maybe even the Top 15.
