Details: In the decisive clash, the 26-year-old triumphed in a family showdown, defeating his cousin Arthur Rinderknech to script one of the most emotional and rare moments in tennis history.

Before Vacherot, the record belonged to Croatian Borna Coric (No. 152, Cincinnati 2022), but now it is the Monaco native who stands atop the record books.
