Match summary
Thomas Faurel meets Valentin Vacherot in the Round of 128 at Roland Garros on May 24 under clay court conditions. Ranked 19th, Vacherot is the seeded player in this first meeting, with Faurel sitting at 378 in the standings.
Neither player has faced the other before. Vacherot has won 60% of his matches on clay in recent play, while Faurel sits at 45%. Both men arrive with two-match losing streaks. Faurel has beaten three common opponents that Vacherot could not: Nikoloz Basilashvili, Robin Bertrand, and Timofey Skatov.
Faurel competes as a relentless baseline player who thrives on grinding rallies and disrupting rhythm. Vacherot operates as a power-oriented striker who works to shorten points through aggressive hitting. The clay surface will test whether Faurel can sustain his scrappy approach long enough to wear down Vacherot, or whether Vacherot's pace from the back of the court becomes too much to manage over a full match.
