Federer Explains
Why Some Tournaments Are Always Better
Roger
Federer explained just why the Shanghai Rolex Masters and Dubai Duty
Free Championships are repeatedly honored in the Best Tournament awards.
Speaking about the Shanghai tournament, Federer enthused: “They
obviously built the stadium from scratch and made it, amazing. “Somehow
they thought of all the players. There are individual locker rooms, the
food is really good. The only little downside is the site is somewhat
far away from the city. But they make up with great transportation.

started the season with a bang, winning Sydney and reaching the finals
of Doha and Dubai.
