In a statement, the Tournament Director Michael Luevano said: “Every year at the Rolex Shanghai Masters we look to make enhancements and to give Shanghai’s great tennis fans and all those followers of this sport, different opportunities to see their favorite players in action.

This year we are excited to introduce day and night sessions to the Rolex Shanghai Masters schedule. This has been under consideration for some time. It is something that works very successfully around the world at many of the biggest tournaments like the US Open, the Australian Open, the ATP Finals and more.

We have one of the best tennis facilities in the world and we want to showcase it to more fans and take things to another level with the excitement of night matches. We look forward to all our guests enjoying the new scheduling format”.
