ATP M1000 Shanghai 2025

[Sudacafan]

There is something off with medvedev’s form/technique on serve. Like how does one his height continue to struggle on first and second serves?

Medvedev won all of his service points in the first three games of the third set—12 points total—plus the first two points of his fourth service game. That’s 14 consecutive points on serve. After that, his level dropped.
What cost him was his poor break point conversion: just 1 out of 11.
Medvedev won three more points than Rinderknech over the course of the match, despite winning four fewer games..
Rinderknech served 111 points, while Medvedev served only 78. Rinderknech had to work harder to hold serve.

What you’re describing then is mass inconsistency. And normally that’s a problem when it comes to form and technique. His serve breaks down too easily.

...and now the beloved cousins will destroy each other!...although I would prefer the VΛVΛ, I believe in the end, the old man, the 30 yo, will lift the trophy...2-1...

 

[roysid]

Will vacherot get a Paris wild card

 

[austintennis2005]

150 ranking places between the Cuz, just wow

Now 30

 

[ghostofMecir]

A who vs. who final, a Masters final? I know Rinderknech but, still, who? What is going on with the ATP Tour? I keep saying this but I have no idea if anybody outside of Sincaraz including Djokovic now apparently is any good. Wild stuff
Good for the finalists but ATP is in a really weird place now.

It symbolizes and encapsulates just how weak next was/is that they can't even win sand Sinnercraz and Oldovic. Sad.

 

[Connor35]

What was Medvedev complaining to the chair about immediately after match point?

 

[jazzu4ia]

...the best possible final there in shang-hai !...
...finally! ...the tour is starting to get interesting! ...that's how unpredictable & subversive I would like every major tournament to be...4 slams-4 different winners out of nowhere...from beyond!
...no more sincaraz or alkanerovic ! ...cheers !

I’ve no idea but he was throwing a tantrum, yet again!

Too good from Vacherot.

Man, he needs to start packing. He needs to know when to sail off into the sunset

You can think he should retire. That fine but he can bow out when the great man decides to. He doesn’t owe us anything.

He really doesn’t that’s why I think he should. He’s getting weaker and I expect more of these lower ranked losses next year. He’s human after all

That a fair prediction. As I said I still wasn’t confident he’d win this despite his draw opening up and seeds falling.

I think his best chance to win is atp 250 events but whether he plays them enough is another matter.

If he carries in my personal opinion is he should target a few of them. He only has to try win 4 matches and he can try go to places with very barren field.

If he wants to stop though I’d totally support that too. Up to him.

He playing Athens next an atp 250 in November.

 

[dking68]

@Djokovic_is_the_best#1 i would be very surprised if after turning 39 he makes a slam semifinal. Being brutally honest

I heard something like this from Meddy to the ump: "I haven't won a tournament since Rome in freakin' 2023! Explain yourself!! Every time I failed to return his serve, I lost the point. What's up with that? Tell me!"

[Kafel69]

they (cousins) played once in an ITF tourney back in 2018. Rinder had him fairly easily in two back then. Pretty wild that this will be a first title for either. Skip the 250/500s and straight to 1000s lol

 

[Smecz]

What happened hereheh

 

[4UTRMoutet]

I want to see Vacherknech lift the title together, regardless of who wins. I would have not seen a moment this beautiful in tennis since AO 2022.

I thought the French were not so fond of American Hollywood endings.

Thought it was appropriate,considering crazy unexpected finalists.

 

[Bill Lobsalot]

Medvedev is a sore loser which means he is a LOSER! He's a man/child.

 

[Barton]

You can ask them. Let me know if doesn't happen. Just give them the two links, and ask to get yours at the top.

Mods didn't respond. Nothing is done yet.

 

[Hitman]

Give them until Monday Pacific time.

 

[Larry Duff]

Something stuck in my head that rhymes with peak Kiera.

 

[beltsman]

Wait, Djokovic didn't even win THIS? lol

 

[sortof]

By winning the Shanghai Masters doubles Kevin Krawietz basically managed to complete his career. A masters title was the last "piece" missing.

 

[MHI]

VACHEROT what a story! Wow!

 

[Mainad]

In winning 2025 Shanghai, Vacherot becomes:

1. The 1st player from Monaco to win an ATP singles title.
2. The lowest ranked player to win a Masters 1000 title since the series began in 1990.
3. The 5th active player this season to win his maiden Masters 1000 title (after Draper, Mensik, Ruud and Shelton).
4. One of just 3 qualifying players to win a Masters 1000 title along with Carretero (1996 Hamburg) and Portas (2001 Hamburg)
5. One of 2 unseeded players to play a Masters 1000 final for only the 3rd time since the series began in 1990.
6. One of just 5 players to win his maiden title at Masters 1000 level.
7. One of just 2 active players to win his maiden title at Masters 1000 level along with Mensik (2025 Miami).
8. One of 23 active players to win at least 1 Masters 1000 title.
9. One of 85 players to win at least 1 Masters 1000 title since the series began in 1990.
10. One of 23 active players to win at least 1 big ATP title.

 

[Barton]

Give them until Monday Pacific time.

It seems they didn't understand me well.

 

[speedysteve]

Enjoyable final, endearing blubbfest ceremony.
Great entertainment and unpredictability.
Makes you realise how boring the dominance by less than handful of players strangle holding the tour has been!
No more!

Vacherot greeted by Monaco fans at the airport. It’s easy for outsiders not to notice that he made tons of history for his nation, but his fellow countrymen appreciate him greatly.
