Wimbledon champ and world number one Novak Djokovic and 20-time Grand Slam winner Roger Federer are among a host of elite names heading to China for the illustrious Shanghai Rolex Masters in October.
The eighth tournament of nine in the ATP World Tour Masters 1000 spans eight days, and will see 99 matches of jaw-dropping action and thrilling excitement played out.
The world’s top talents will battle it out for their share of the mouth-watering USD7,086,700 prize pot, as the Qizhong Forest Sports City Arena, retractable magnolia-inspired roof and all, will play host to Novak, Roger and co.

Arguably the most exciting draw of the event will be to see what Australian star Nick Kyrgios manages to throw a tantrum about this time, as the controversial Aussie has had outbursts at his last four Shanghai Rolex Masters.
Djokovic was triumphant last time out on Shanghai’s hard court, after the Serb overcame Croatia’s Borna Coric in straight sets in 2018's final.
While Wimbledon may have already passed, don’t miss your chance to indulge on strawberries and cream, not to mention the quintessential tennis companion – Pimm’s.
