Tennis fans, your Golden Week plans in October just got a major upgrade.
To be held during both the National Day holiday and Mid-Autumn Festival, the 2025 Rolex Shanghai Masters will run from September 29 to October 12 at the Qizhong Tennis Center in Minhang District.
With newly upgraded stadiums and a holiday-friendly schedule, this year's edition promises more access and excitement than ever.
Tickets go on sale at 12pm on Monday (July 21) via the Jiushi Sports App, WeChat and Alipay mini-programs, and City News Service "Jiushi Sports" ticketing channel.
What's new in 2025
This year introduces significant upgrades to the tournament experience. The No. 2 Stadium has been fully renovated and is now equipped with a retractable roof that shields both the court and spectator seating. This ensures uninterrupted matches and greater comfort regardless of the weather.
Additionally, Court 17 has been reimagined as the "Masters Training Ground," offering 1,200 upgraded seats and a closer look at how top players prepare for competition. It's a rare opportunity for fans to observe training routines and techniques up close in a relaxed setting.
Tennis icon Roger Federer will make a special appearance on October 10 at the main stadium. As the event's long-standing "Super Friend," the Swiss maestro's return is widely anticipated, and fans can expect a memorable experience once again.
