Billie Jean King Cup: India bounces back to upset New Zealand, registers first win

“If someone had told me that my first top-five win of the season, second after Shanghai, would be here on ‌a night session, on the centre ​court that I’ve been hitting on since I was six years old, I ⁠wouldn’t have believed it,” Vacherot said on court.

“Maybe people don’t know that I love ‌clay. I grew up playing here for 18 years before going to college and learning how to play on hard courts. But this is where I learned how to play tennis.

“Let’s say I needed ‌a set and a half to get on ​it in the first round. And now my game is back.”

Vacherot, who ⁠rocketed from number 204 in the world to ⁠number 40 after his win in Shanghai and also reached the third ‌round of the Australian Open this year, takes on Poland’s Hubert Hurkacz later ​on Thursday.
