Federer, Nadal, Wawrinka in the same half in Shanghai

There is a big “traffic” in the lower part of the draw in Shanghai as Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Stan Wawrinka are all there.

Federer has a rough ride to probably play Querrey in the 1st match and Tsonga in the 2nd. Nishikori looms in the quarters (but Kei is not in top form and Roger might get Kyrgios). In the semis the Maestro will face either Nadal or Wawrinka.

On the other side Djokovic seems to have better life with the biggest and more significant hurdle being Murray in the semifinal.

The defending champion is Roger Federer that defeated Simon in the final. 

Here the draw
