World No.204 triumphs in family battle

- BY YASMIN SYED AND RICHARD GARNETT

ARTHUR RINDERKNECH tumbled off the platform while listening to his cousin, Valentin Vacherot, deliver his winner's address at the Shanghai Masters.

The Frenchman, 30, appeared to lose momentum after claiming the opening set of their remarkable family showdown, with world No. 204 Vacherot fighting back to triumph 4-6 6-3

Both cousins were in floods of tears as they honoured each other during their addresses as part of the trophy ceremony.

It marked a momentous day in Shanghai, as Vacherot, who progressed through qualifying, became the lowest-ranked player to reach a Masters 1000 final.
