• The Monegasque became the lowest-ranked Masters 1000 winner and the first player from Monaco to claim a tour-level singles crown.
• His run included a 6-3, 6-4 semifinal upset of Novak Djokovic, who took medical timeouts during a week of taxing heat and humidity.
• The champion’s $1,124,380 payday roughly doubled his prior career earnings and is set to deliver a top‑100 breakthrough.
• Vacherot is only the third qualifier to capture a Masters 1000 title, capping a rare final between two unseeded cousins.
