Shanghai Masters Tennis 2011 live on Sky Sports
September 28, 2011 · 0 Comments
The world’s top-class tennis gala, The Rolex Masters, is returning to Shanghai for the third year running from October 10-16 and will be broadcast live on Sky Sports.
With the World Tour Finals just over six weeks away, all the top names will be looking to win in Shanghai. Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray will compete and strive for the 1,000 champion points, however Roger Federer has withdrawn from the competition to “rest and recuperate” after a gruelling summer schedule. Novak Djokovic has also pulled out of the tournament after failing to overcome a back problem.
Andy Murray returns to China hoping to start a silver-laden run-in to the end of the ATP Tour when he defends his Shanghai Masters title. Last year, Murray took the world’s largest city by storm, cruising to his second Masters title of 2010 without dropping a set.
The British number one, who saw off Roger Federer in the final, will be looking to repeat that unblemished run and add to the Masters title he took in Cincinnati in August.
Fans of the Scot will be encouraged by Murray’s recent efforts, which included an impressive showing at the US Open where he fought back from two sets and a break down against Robin Haase and put in a spirited display against the always difficult Rafael Nadal.
With the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals just a matter of weeks away, Murray will be hoping he can add to his 2011 trophy haul in Asia this week. Coverage of the Shanghai Masters is live on Sky Sports starting on Monday 10 October, with the final on Sunday 16 October.
