Vacherot breaks into the Top 100 with this result (#92 in the live ranking).

Vacherot played a great tie-break to deservingly take the second set. Then Rune's body fell apart in the third set, and his brain as well. He tried to get into the Monegasque's head with his antics, but in the end he was unsuccessful.

First Atmane, now Vacherot making a Masters 1000 SF :help: This era is really the eternal gift that keeps on giving

Trying to keep the minuscule ATP Finals hopes alive.

"Rune will win Shanghai" someone clever said. Well, turns out that someone might not be as clever as we thought. Vacherot deserved this win. Rune can now say he would win 9/10 matches in any different conditions.

The on court celebration on winning his last match and now this.....:eek:

He is either declining rapidly or he was overrated, overhyped and lucky for a while.

I actually feel a tad sorry for him. He must look at his one time pal Carlos and be very :unsure2::cry::sick:

As far as Rune is concerned, I don’t really rate him. I don’t think he has that much potential. He can be a top 5 player at best with the occasional masters or slam QF-SF at best but I don’t see him being a slam champion.

Rune = the Gen Z Khachanov.

A Paris Masters title over Djokovic in the final to announce yourself, and downhill from there.
