The only Monegasque who is actually competing on the ATP Tour, Valentin Vacherot, will make his debut in Grand Slam tournaments next Tuesday, May 28th against Alejandro Davidovich, a duel that isn’t going to be easy for either of them, because although Davidovich is in a better position than Vacherot in the ATP ranking, the Spaniard isn’t going through a good moment on clay.
Also, the preparation Vacherot has had on the clay this 2024 season has been amazing, starting since March and, despite having notable ups and downs, his most recent performance on clay gave him the opportunity to reach final instances of the Aix-en-Provence and Tunis Challengers, gaining full motivation to surpass the Roland Garros Qualifiers over players like Debru, Couacaud and Harris.
Meanwhile, Davidovich was only able to play 5 clay court preparation matches before Roland Garros, and didn’t even come close to meeting expectations at the Masters 1000 tournaments in Montecarlo, Madrid and Rome, losing to players with very different profiles such as Sebastian Korda, Andrey Rublev and Hamad Medjedovic, so it isn’t surprising that he isn’t a contender at Roland Garros.
