2025 Shanghai Masters: A Family Affair
The 2025 Shanghai Masters was a family affair as cousins Valentin Vacherot and Arthur Rinderknech met in the final, but only one of them walked away with the title.
Vacherot ended his Shanghai fairytale run with the trophy – his maiden at ATP Tour level – as he defeated his cousin Rinderknech 4–6, 6–3, 6–3 in the showpiece match.
Besides holding his nerve to see off his cousin, Vacherot also claimed the upset of the year as he defeated 24-time Grand Slam winner Novak Djokovic in straight sets in the semi-final.

He became the first man from Monaco to reach the quarter-final of an ATP Masters 1000 event and went two better to become the first Monagasque to win a top-level title.
He defeated his cousin Rinderknech – who started the tournament 150 places above him in the ATP Rankings.
Author's summary: Vacherot wins Shanghai Masters title.
