Return to Shanghai

Roger returns onto court this week at the Masters 1000 in Shanghai after a month-long break. He had captured the title in the Asian metropolis in 2003, 2004, 2006 and 2007.

Like all the other seven top players, Roger has been freed of the first round. He will enter the tournament against the winner of the match between America's John Isner (ATP 22) and Czech Republic's Lukas Dlouhy (ATP 600). After that a meeting with Marin Cilic (ATP 14) would be likely. Further progress will lead to a possible match with Robin Söderling (ATP 5) in the quarterfinals, followed by Novak Djokovic (ATP 2) in the semis.
