Valentin Vacherot earned the biggest win of his career by beating a hobbled Novak Djokovic 6-3, 6-4 on Saturday to reach the Shanghai Masters final. The 204th-ranked Vacherot, of Monaco, was an alternate in qualifying but is having a career week. “Is this real? I don’t know,” the 26-year-old Vacherot said moments after defeating the 24-time Grand Slam champion. 

“To have Novak on the other side of the court was, first of all, an unbelievable experience for me,” he added. Djokovic, 38, was slowed throughout the match by a sore hip. He took a medical timeout after falling behind 4-3 in the opening set.
