Japan Open 2026, Tokyo - ATP 500

[Fiero425]

Vacherot is peaking again in Asia. So fun to watch that guy. He is top 10 level when injury free.

I'm surprised he's been able to keep this up! Players upset Djokovic to win Paris like Rune & Khachanov, but didn't continue to rise as this guy!

Tokyo QFs



Shapo should probably have won the first set against Carlos. Carlito turns it round and Shapo retires early in the second. Vacherot edge Fils in 3.

I watched Alcaraz match, while his serve is still subpar, grinding through these service wobbles could ultimately strengthen Alcaraz's mental toughness and problem solving, even in his match against Michelsen he was broken mutliple times in opening sets
great players like Alcaraz usually find a way to turn things around and win, even if it is ugly.
