With only men competing, the ATP Tour regulates the event to fit in with the hectic schedule of the players and to fall in line with the suitability of the playing conditions in Shanghai.

Format 

The event is an ATP Masters 1000 meaning that is compulsory for the world’s top 32 players to take part (injuries permitting) and with 1000 ranking points on offer, it is one of the biggest events in the calendar outside of the Grand Slams. With the draw being completed in just one week, the 56 players competing can expect a hectic schedule should they manage to reach the latter stages of the event.
