Roger Federer won his first Shanghai Rolex Masters crown, his 23rd ATP Masters 1000 and his 81st career title when he defeated Gilles Simon 7-6, 7-6. He will also move back to the world No.2 ranking
There are not many occasions these days when Roger Federer wins a tournament for the first time but the Swiss was celebrating his maiden Shanghai Rolex Masters title.
Federer, who beat France’s Gilles Simon 7-6 (6), 7-6 (2), is hugely popular in China and his delight at rewarding his army of fans was evident at the end of a match that was tight throughout.
Federer won the Tennis Masters Cup twice when it was staged here, but since the Qi Zhong Tennis Center started hosting the Masters 1000 tournament in 2009 his best result had come in 2010, when he finished runner-up to Andy Murray.
However, the 33-year-old Swiss, who was the second oldest player in the tournament, has played like a man on a mission ever since he saved five match points in his opening encounter with Leonardo Mayer.

Without the pressure of playing at home in her native China, Shanshan Feng tied for low-round of the day with an 8-under 63 to claim the 2014 Sime Darby LPGA championship. Thanks to a 6-under back nine, one that included an eagle on 16, Feng seized control of the tournament on the way to her fourth career victory.
Pornanong Phatlum (-15) nearly missed becoming the first Thai player to win on the LPGA Tour, finishing three strokes behind Feng in the end.

Anytime two legends of the game such as Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer confront each other across a tennis net, it is a special occasion and today’s Shanghai Rolex Masters is no exception.
To many, this could be seen as the final of the event that might have come a day early. However nothing should take away from the accomplishments of Gilles Simon and Feliciano Lopez, one of whom will make it to the final of a Masters 1000 series unseeded.
However top billing today must unquestionably go to a battle royal that features the two winners of a combined 24 Grand Slam singles titles and an unbelievable 126 on the full ATP World Tour. This will be the 36th time the Swiss and the Serb have faced off against each other with Federer leading the way with 18 wins to Djokovic’s 17.
