Continuing LIVE on ESPN2 in October is more season coverage of the ATP World Tour Masters 1000
October is a busy month on the courts with more of ESPN’s LIVE season coverage of world-class men’s tennis from the ATP World Tour. Featured on ESPN2 is a popular stop on the ATP World Tour Masters 1000 series, the Shanghai Rolex Masters in Shanghai, won last year by Swiss legend Roger Federer, who claimed his 23rd ATP World Tour Masters 1000 title (at the time) over France´s Gilles Simon.
Federer has looked strong this season, losing to Novak Djokovic at Wimbledon, which gave the Serbian dynamo a third Wimbledon title and ninth Grand Slam overall. With Spain´s Rafael Nadal struggling, Djokovic and Federer have climbed to the top of the rankings, joined by Great Britain´s Andy Murray, Swiss talent Stan Wawrinka - the winner over Djokovic at Roland Garros - and other rising stars like Japan´s Kei Nishikori, the Czech Republic´s Tomas Berdych and Spain´s David Ferrer.
