 DAY 1 PREVIEW: There are four main draw matches on Sunday’s opening day schedule. In the first main draw match on Stadium, Albert Ramos-Vinolas looks to continue his strong run of form when he faces . The Spaniard is coming off a run to the final at the inaugural two weeks ago (l. to Khachanov) and has great memories from the ATP World Tour Masters 1000 event, having upset Roger Federer last year for his first Top 10 victory. He is seeking his first win over Fognini, who owns a 6-0 lead in their FedEx ATP Head2Head.

Next on Stadium is a match-up of comeback campaigns between 32-year-olds, as Janko Tipsarevic takes on . Tipsarevic, who has returned to action this year following knee and foot issues, has soared from outside the Top 600 of the Emirates ATP Rankings to his current position of World No. 173. He most recently won his first pro title in nearly four years, as a qualifier at the Qingdao Challenger in August, and reached the semi-finals at the ATP World Tour event in Shenzhen. Kohlschreiber is recovering from a stress fracture in his right foot and seeking his first match win since the Rio Olympics.

Two of the three Chinese players in the draw open their bids on Sunday, with wild card Di Wu and Zhe Li set to face No. 16 seed Pablo Cuevas and , respectively. Two weeks ago, Wu claimed his first ATP World Tour match win in Chengdu (d. Kravchuk). The 25-year-old became the first Chinese to win an ATP Challenger Tour title earlier this year in Maui, USA (d. Edmund).

 BIG FOUR DOMINANCE: The ‘Big Four’ of Djokovic, Murray, Nadal and Federer have won 54 of the last 59 ATP Masters 1000 tournaments, which dates back to Nadal’s triumph at Monte-Carlo in 2010. The only other players to emerge with an ATP Masters 1000 title are Robin Soderling (2010 Paris), David Ferrer (2011 Paris), Stan Wawrinka (2014 Monte-Carlo) , Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (2014 Toronto) and Marin Cilic (2016 Cincinnati). Here is a breakdown of the ATP Masters 1000 titles won during that time: Djokovic (25), Nadal (13), Federer (8) and Murray (8).

 WORLD NO. 1/TOP SEED: World No. 1 and three-time champion Djokovic is making his seventh Shanghai appearance in eight years (except ’11) and he comes in with a 24-3 career record. The reigning champion is the top seed in Shanghai for the fourth straight year. He’s won 18 of the last 19 matches in Shanghai with his only loss coming to Federer in the SF in 2014. Djokovic has compiled a 56-6 match record (38-3 on hard) on the season with an ATP World Tour-best seven titles, including crowns at the and Roland Garros and ATP Masters 1000 events in Indian Wells, Miami, Madrid and Toronto. On Monday, it will mark the 220th week overall he has ranked No. 1 in the Emirates ATP Rankings, which is fifth-most (since Aug. 23, 1973). He has held No. 1 every week since July 7, 2014, a streak of 119 consecutive weeks. Djokovic is trying to finish No. 1 in the Emirates ATP Rankings for the third straight year and fifth time in six years (except ’13). Since 2004 when Federer first finished No. 1, the year-end ranking has been held by three players: Federer five times (2004-07, 2009), Djokovic four times (2011-12, 2014-15) and Nadal three times (2008, 2010, 2013).

His 28-match winning streak in China ended in 2014 when he lost to Federer in the semi-finals in Shanghai. Overall, he has won 10 career titles in China (six in Beijing, four in Shanghai, incl. ’08 Tennis Masters Cup). He has never lost in the Beijing Open (29-0) and is 24-3 at the Shanghai ROLEX Masters (since 2009). He also went 4-4 at the Tennis Masters Cup in Shanghai in 2007-08, winning title in ’08.
