Shanghai, China – The
world’s leading singles players and Wimbledon finalists, Roger
Federer and Rafael Nadal, and the top-ranked doubles pairing of Bob
and Mike Bryan, all have secured their places in the prestigious
circuit finale, the Tennis Masters Cup Shanghai, to be held for the
third year at Qi Zhong Stadium from November
11-18.
ATP World No. 1 Roger Federer, who has compiled
a 36-5 record that includes titles at the Australian Open, Dubai,
ATP Masters Series Hamburg and Wimbledon, has made the final of six
of his nine tournament appearances this year.
"I look forward to returning to Shanghai to
defend my Tennis Masters Cup title. Winning there was a perfect
ending to last season and I love playing in China,“ said Federer,
the winner in 2003-04 and 2006.
ATP World No. 2 Nadal leads the ATP circuit
with a 51-8 match record this year and has stood atop the ATP 2007
Race standings since April 30, following his third straight title
win in Barcelona.
The 21-year-old Spaniard captured his first of
a circuit-best five titles this season at ATP Masters Series Indian
Wells in March and once again enjoyed a stellar clay-court
campaign, where he extended his Open Era record-winning streak on
the surface to 81 matches. Nadal has beaten Federer in three
clay-court finals this year at the ATP Masters Series events in
Monte-Carlo and Rome, and at Roland Garros.
"I am very happy to have qualified for the
Masters again this year,” said Nadal. “This was one of my goals
for the year and I have managed to do it pretty early
so that's great. I enjoyed very much playing in
Shanghai last year and I am really looking forward to be back there
and try to improve the semis I did against Roger. I know it is not
going to be easy. I think this is one of the most important events
and one of
the most difficult to win since
from day one you face a Top 10 player. No mistakes are
allowed."
Nadal added: "I also have great memories of the
fans there. Even the year I had to pull out they treated me really
well and I am very thankful to them. I am really looking forward to
being there in November"
Following the Wimbledon final, Nadal has
accumulated 886 points from 12 tournaments to lead the ATP 2007
Race with Federer holding second position in the Race with 801
points, 240 points ahead of his nearest rival, Novak
Djokovic.
"This will be Roger's fourth year in Shanghai
at the year-end championship and he has
developed a huge and loyal following in China,"
said Tennis Masters Cup Tournament Director Brad
Drewett. "Rafael is of course also
very popular and fans will be hoping
for a re-match of last year's Masters Cup
semifinal where Roger and
Rafael played a superb match. These two players
are developing one of the great rivalries in sport and fans in
China are looking forward to this being continued at the Masters
Cup in Shanghai."
The Bryan brothers are runaway leaders in the
Stanford ATP Doubles Race, 266 points ahead of their nearest rivals
Mark Knowles and Daniel Nestor in second position. The 29-year-old
Bryans have an ATP-best 47-6 record in 2007, with six titles from
nine finals.
We're very excited to be back in Tennis Masters
Cup and to be going to Shanghai once again,” said Mike Bryan. “To
be able to play in the year-end championships is a great thrill,
and we hope we can compete for the title there this
year."
Added Bob Bryan: "Qualifying really shows that
you've had a solid season, not just a good tournament or two. It's
an event we certainly look forward to, and one that we get very
motivated to play."
Said Drewett: "The crowds in Shanghai love
watching the Bryan brothers perform both on-court at the tournament
and at their annual rock concert which draws thousands of fans each
year. They will have to put out their own CD this
year."
The top seven players in the ATP 2007 Race and
the top seven teams in the Stanford ATP Doubles Race following the
BNP Paribas Masters qualify for the circuit finale, with one spot
reserved for Grand Slam champions finishing within the Top
20.
