Roger Federer

The 2018 Shanghai Masters is an ATP World Tour Masters 1000 event taking place at outdoors at the Qizhong Arena in Shanghai, China. Despite taking place in outdoors conditions, the surface is a hard court, which will suit some players but not others.

Roger Federer is the reigning Shanghai Masters champion, can he win back-to-back titles and challenge again for the number one ranking in the world? The tennis betting odds seem to suggest he can.

The same two players who clashed in the Australian Open men's singles final a year ago are slated to do so again this year, according to the form charts. Rafael Nadal, last year's losing finalist, comes in as the top seed, while defending champion Roger Federer is the No. 2 seed. But that's a big step up the ladder from last year, when he opened as 17th seed.

The 2017 Wimbledon Championships, the 131st edition of this amazing tennis tournaments, run from July 3-16 and will see the winners of the men’s and women’s competition walk away with £2.2 million each.
