The 204th-ranked Vacherot, an unheralded 26-year-old, was the lowestranked tournament winner in ATP Masters 1000 history - and the first from the tiny Principality of Monaco.

"Just crying, it's just isn't real what just happened. I've no idea what's happening right now," Vacherot said moments after victory.

"I think there are two winners today and just one family that won. I think for the sport of tennis this story's just unreal." It was quite a performance, too.
