Valentin Vacherot is building momentum again.
The Monaco star defeated Matteo Berrettini 7–6, 6–4 at the Miami Open 2026, to book his place in the Round of 16.
It’s another strong statement from a player who already made history last year, becoming the lowest-ranked Masters champion ever when he won in Shanghai as world No. 204.
Now sitting at a career-high ranking of No. 25, Vacherot is showing that run was no fluke.
This latest win marks:
- His third Masters 1000 Round of 16 appearance
- His first-ever Round of 16 in Miami
There’s a sense of familiarity about his run: the confidence, the control, the belief.
Vacherot looks locked in again.
