Djokovic with plenty of antics and theatre and only 9 winners in the entire match.

Glorious result for Vacherot! Lowest-ranked player to ever reach a Master's final. Up to #58 in the live ranking. Could be a matchup against his cousin Rinderknech in the final, should the latter beat Medvedev.

Yup... if you're calling for the trainer early in the first set & don't feel up for it then just belt your groundies then.

He can do it as he's done it before instead of moping about & just flinging it back.

 

 

Not the expected animal

 

More talented player win

 

I bet you don't even know what talent is. Just the usual trollfest haters around here.

 

Better player on the day won. It sucks, but it's true.
To be fair I was really surprised by how well the Monégasque served and played from the baseline. Keeping such a high level throughout the entire match, not typical for players outside the top 100. Well earned final spot.

I just hope Medvedev can handle his part of the draw because a Masters final between two unseeded players cousins will be too much.

 

Vacherot was that Monte Carlo Wildcard where people always thought that he is only allowed to play because he is from Monaco, but has absolutely no business playing in a Masters 1000.

 

Those people were dumb as can be and never looked into his history.

Balleret fit that bill. Lisnard did. Vacherot was always better than them.

 

Pencil duly sharpened

 

Vacherot has to be the most blessed person out there...born in Monaco, plays tennis and now has this insane run out of nowhere.

May I remind you, Vacherot was ranked lower than Wawrinka in both the Rankings and Race until this tournament.

 

Sad to see Djokovic that way but I’m glad it’s Vacherot who got this price, now win it all.

 

Cousins final on the way

 

What happened here? Was sleeping

 

Could barely walk, injured.

 

Can he just retire? What's the point of keeping playing when physically he can no longer do that? Struggling and being injured in every match I watched him play these days. Cannot remember the last time he actually looked healthy and fresh. And this is BO3 and he has a day off in between.

 

Struggling and being injured in every match I watched him play these days.

To be fair, it also seemed to be the case in some amazing 5 set wins against top opponents.

 

I think it's time
Throughout the whole year, Djokovic had exactly one good tournament, where he was both good mentally and physically, Roland Garros.
Unless he does some magic to his body and brain, it will get only worse.

Vacherot is a generic mug, just like his cousin Rinderknech; nothing interesting or great about his game.

 

He seriously need to hit 'em with the Hola a todos™

 

Don't see how he can continue after this. Def don't quit with this as your last match, but maybe the next tournament win. ANY TOURNAMENT

 

That's unbelievable!! One of the biggest upsets of the year. Congrats Vacherot, into a masters final.

The last remaining member of the big 3 is starting to look done.

 

Not true.
Djokovic beating Vacherot today would have been the biggest upset in the entire sports history!

 

That ball into the net at deuce reminiscent of Nadal in his dotage. He looks done.

 

At the break point in the final game, you mean. Yeah, it was pretty much white flag Netting an easy shot against the mug who was choking like crazy

 

Vachegoat beats the old goat, unbelieveable. I didn't expect him to hold in that last game, but he was steady enough, congrats to him!
Amazing story

 

Djokovic and his antics are truly replusive, he has zero sportsmanship, always engages in nasty delay tactics.

Hilarious how everytime he lost a point, he acted like he couldn’t move or was exhausted to throw his opponent off.

Anyways, glad this vulture clown is OUT 😹

 

Djokovic started looking gingerly and hampered but did improve in second set but gave away the penultimate break in set 2 with a DF (multiple in that game). Vacherot kept his nerve today to seal the match.

 

This defeat to qualifier should serve as a real wake-up call for Djokovic, much more than his losses to Alcaraz and Sinner. It's time to say goodbye.

 

If this doesn't make Djokovic realise he has to retire soon nothing will.

Vacherot was really nothing special.

 

Isn’t Novak signed up to play Greece? Hopefully he calls it a season now.

 

What's him calling it a season going to help? He's already making large breaks in between tournaments and he still struggles physically.

 

Like I said, his draw was too tough, beating Hanfmann, Bergs, Munar and Vacherot proved to be too tall of an order that not even a player like Djokovic could accomplish. I said if he achieved this, he would be the GOAT. Alas, not my GOAT.

 

Couldn’t have had a better chance to win a tournament without Sincaraz, only this time his body defeated him. At this point, is it even worth all the effort?

 

Thats up to him to decide. I think most fans felt the perfect time to retire were the Olympics last year yet I am excited to watch any match I possibly can of him including exhibitions.

 

WOW! What a story! Fully deserved. Played incredibly well, broke Djokovic right back in the second game and didn't flinch until the last game when he had to save a BP, which he did with great hitting.

Faker... Next year, please play in Hollywood only. At 4-4 40-30 he was putting his hands to his ears. Well put them now again! What a great athlete and what a douchebag as a person.

 

Djokovic had a challengers draw to reach a masters 1000 final and failed spectacularly. LMAO
