To my mufos that don't follow tennis, please note that Valentin Vacherot is a pretty hot guy, as well as being part of the feel-good story of the #tennis year. #MiscellaneousCuteGuy

Monegasque professional tennis player Valentin Vacherot, looking absolutely flummoxed to have won a match that no one, perhaps least of all him, expected him to win. He is extremely sweaty, having played high-level professional tennis for hours in a steam-bath environment, and is wearing a breathing strip on his nose, and is holding his hands to his head as if in the beginning of the famous "mind blown" gesture. He has the most beautiful dark eyes.
