Last week the women reached their Asian Everest at the China Open. This week the men top out at the Shanghai Rolex Masters. It’s the ATP’s first mandatory event since the U.S. Open, and the penultimate Masters tournament of 2013. It will mark the first sighting of Roger Federer since his fourth-round loss at Flushing Meadows, and will help decide the fates of those, including Federer, who are racing for the final spots in the tour’s season-ending championships in London. And while Rafael Nadal is likely going to be the year-end No. 1—he extended his lead despite losing on Sunday—it’s clear after Novak Djokovic’s win in Beijing that there are still important matches to be played at the top of the rankings. Shanghai is on late in the States, but it will be worth a watch. Here’s a look at the draw, and what we might see from it.
