I know it's a little late to talk about this, anyhow I still wanted to write something about it. Not only because the World No. 1 tennis player bowed out with an early exit in Shanghai, the defending champion was also dethroned in the Thursday edition of the Shanghai Masters.
Nikolay Davydenko was outlasted by Zverev 6-4 7-6 while Nadal ran out of gas againsts Jurgen Melzer losing 6-1 3-6 6-3. This is good news for any Roger Federer fan as this opens up for his 18th Masters bid. But of course, it will not be an easy path since Novak and Andy Murray have been showing red-hot form by brushing aside easily those who come their way.
If Roger can capture the title, could at least move back up to No. 2 spot in the atp rankings. But Nadal is very likely to safely hold on to his No. 1 spot till the end of the year. Health will be his biggest foe.
