Who’s that beautiful girl smiling beside Valentin Vacherot when they discovered his draw in Monte Carlo? Monaco-based ATP star Valentin Vacherot is set to step onto the court at the Monte-Carlo Masters against the new number 9 from Bulgaria Grigor Dimitrov in just a few hours from now. This surely isn’t an easy draw for the French-Monegasque tennis player and his facial expression after seeing the draw portrays it. But to remind you, he has already won 3 Challenger titles this season.

Is it the reason why his girlfriend is seen smiling beside him during the draw? But who is his girlfriend, though? Emily Snyder is his girlfriend and she’s the one sitting beside Vacherot during the draw. Snyder is based in Monaco, and she has a passion for sports and she’s often found attending live games.

But does she have any ties with tennis?

Valentin Vacherot’s family and his girlfriend share a common love for sports

Tennis is not just a sport for Valentin Vacherot but a family legacy. His parents first met at a tennis club, his half-brother has also been his full-time coach since 2022. Vacherot’s sister also works at a tennis club and his cousin is Arthur Rinderknech. So, he had very little choice to make as a kid other than tennis. But his girlfriend, Emily Snyder loves to play the role staying a little bit distant from the direct action. She loves the management part of the sport and that’s what exactly she wants to build a career in.
