PLAYERS SHAKE HANDS AT NET STORY: Cousins Valentin Vacherot and Arthur Rinderknech are set to face each other in the Paris Masters second round on Wednesday (October 29) following their Shanghai Masters final clash this month. Vacherot, who defeated Frenchman Rinderknech in Shanghai to become the first player from Monaco to win an ATP title, cruised past 14th seed Jiri Lehecka 6-1, 6-3 in the first round in Paris on Tuesday (October 28). "I'm living a fairytale… that's why I'm playing so well, I'm enjoying every second," said Vacherot, who was 204th in the world when he became the lowest-ranked player to win an ATP Masters 1000 tournament. Rinderknech, a wildcard in the tournament like his cousin, beat Fabian Marozsan 7-6(5) 7-6(4) on Monday (October 27) to reach the second round. Meanwhile, eleventh seed Daniil Medvedev is through to the next round after beating Jaume Munar in straight sets, 6-1, 6-3. In the day's other matches, Felix Auger-Aliassime proved too good for Francisco Comesana 6(2)-7, 6-3, 6-3. Brazil's Joao Fonseca also prevailed in three sets over Denis Shapovalov, 5-7 6-4, 6-3.
