Albert Ramos defeated Marin Cilic 6-4 6-4 to reach the Shanghai second round and book a clash against Roger Federer. The Spaniard already defeated the Swiss just in Shanghai in 2015. "It will be a difficult match but I guess I have nothing to lose, I play against one of the best guys in history on a very fast court so I will try to play as well as possible. In tennis, you never know although he is the favorite. He is a very charismatic player and everyone loves to see him playing, so I will try to play a good match and enjoy as much as I can", said Ramos.
On his win over Cilic, Ramos added: "I am very happy because it was a very tough match, in a Masters 1000 winning matches is always very important. Cilic is a great player, he was at the top for so many years but now he is going through a tough time. He will definitely be back. He is a great player and I am sure he will be at his best again."
The Shanghai Tournament Director Michael Luevano is enjoying the Chinese event that is taking place for the 11th time on the Masters 1000 category. The American said: "The Rolex Shanghai Masters comes around at a great time of the year in China as the country celebrates the National Day holiday. This year's championship promises to be bigger and better as we start our second decade on the tour. The greatest players in the game are returning and tennis fans in the region will get the opportunity to see the young guns continue to make exciting strides in world tennis. For example, we are the only tournament in Asia where Medvedev, the hottest name in the sport right now, is playing."
