Watch Shanghai Masters 2025 live streams, as Arthur Rinderknech takes on Valentin Vacherot in a blockbuster cousin vs cousin final on Sunday, October 12. They're due on Stadium Court not before 4.30pm BST / 11.45am ET.

If you put money on Rinderknech vs Vacherot being the final at the beginning of the week, then our congratulations on being a millionaire. In arguably the most incredible denouement to an ATP Masters tournament in history, cousin will face cousin for the title.

Vacherot got their first and became the lowest-ranked player in Masters history to reach a final. The world No204 beat an injury-troubled Novak Djokovic 6-3 6-4, to add the 38-year-old 24-time grand slam champion to 14th seed Alexander Bublik and 10th seed Holger Rune in his stellar run.

Roared on by his cousin courtside, Rinderknech joined him by beating former world number one Daniil Medvedev 4-6, 6-2, 6-4. The world No56 has already seen off Alexander Zverev, Felix Auger-Aliassime and Jiri Lehecka to reach the showpiece and will start as favorite.

“I can’t even say it’s a dream because I don’t think even one person in our family dreamed about it,” Rinderknech said. “We started believing it, I would say, in the quarters, maybe." Vacherot said: “This is just crazy.”

So, which cousin will take the most incredible of maiden Masters victories? Makes sure you tune in to find out.
