What Makes Shanghai Rolex Masters Stand Out?

Since becoming an ATP Masters 1000 event in 2009 (when it replaced the former indoor Madrid Masters), the Rolex Shanghai Masters has stood out as:

• The only ATP Masters 1000 tournament held outside Europe and North America, firmly establishing Asia as a pivotal part of the ATP calendar.
  
• A must-watch stop in the Asian swing, strategically positioned after the Japan Open and just before the Paris Masters.
  
• A favorite among top players — legends like Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic, and Alexander Zverev have all lifted the trophy at this iconic venue.

Qizhong Tennis Center: A World-Class Stage

• The Qizhong Tennis Center is instantly recognizable for its stunning magnolia-shaped retractable roof, symbolizing Shanghai’s city flower.
  
• Center court boasts seating for 15,000 fans, combining cutting-edge design with an electric crowd atmosphere.
  
• The complex features multiple match courts, giving fans plenty of opportunities to catch top-level tennis across the grounds.

Fan Experience

The Rolex Shanghai Masters is about more than just the on-court action — it’s a full tennis festival experience:

• Seating Options: From premium center court seats to grandstand and general admission areas, there’s a ticket for every budget and style.
  
• Food & Entertainment: Fans can enjoy a wide range of dining options, official merchandise shops, and dedicated fan zones with interactive activities.
  
• Family-Friendly: The spacious layout and variety of courts make it a great day out for families and groups.

Ticketing & How to Attend

• Early booking is strongly recommended because top matches and premium seats often sell out fast. Don’t miss this chance.
  
• Flexible packages may include single-session tickets, full-day passes, or multi-day options for die-hard tennis fans wanting the full Masters 1000 experience.

The Rolex Shanghai Masters 2025 is more than just another tournament — it’s a celebration of tennis excellence in one of Asia’s most dynamic cities. Whether you’re traveling for the star-studded player lineup, the iconic venue, or the vibrant Shanghai atmosphere, you’ll be part of a signature moment on the ATP calendar this year.
