The Bank of Communications Shanghai Masters WC & Last 32 !!
Monday 14th ~Sunday 20th of September at the Shanghai Grand Stage, Shanghai
Shanghai Masters is a well established Ranking Event dating back to 2007 when Dominic Dale won his 2nd ranking event beating his compatriot Ryan Day 10-6 in the final. 9 years on and Ryan Day is at the venue stage having beaten Dominic Dale 5-1 in Qualifying and will play 2006 World Champion Graeme Dott in the last 32.
The only player to reach the final twice 2008 and 2009 is Ronnie O'Sullivan but as so often these days Ronnie has decided to sit it out this year.
