Vacherot’s Australian Open Goal: Reaching Round 4

Revelation of the year Valentin Vacherot is in great demand in the Principality. During an event with one of its partners Monaco Telecom, the Monegasque revealed one of his first objectives for 2026. Given his level of play at the end of 2025, this seems achievable.

« My next appointment is the Australian tour in January with two preparation tournaments, then the Australian Open. At the moment, I am in full physical preparation for the confrontations during the long matches in three or five sets. My goal for this first Grand Slam will be to reach the second week, to pass this famous third round. And if my results can make young people want to play tennis, that’s what makes me the happiest.”
