Available for over a year

Valentin Vacherot joins Ade Adedoyin to reflect on making history in China. Going into the final he was ranked number 204 in the world and he came from a set down to beat his cousin Arthur Rinderknech. It’s his first ATP title and with it comes winnings of over one million dollars – that’s more than the double the amount of money he had previously won across his entire professional career. Vacherot reflects on his emotions around the match, gives us an insight into the family group chats and discusses what he hopes the win can now do for his career.
