Shanghai ATP Masters 1000 - Men's Quarterfinal Preview
13 Jurgen Melzer vs Juan Monaco - H2H: 1-4
Jurgen won last week in Tokyo. All Monaco wins have come on clay.
Jurgen is looking for a late season surge into the London finals.
Currently #11 in the race to O2 a Qf win would greatly help his cause.
4 Andy Murray vs 12 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga - H2H: 3-1
Andy clinched his spot in London today - Jo-W is sitting at #12 in the race.
The two played an entertaining (for 2 sets anyway) match at W this year.

3 Roger Federer vs 5 Robin Soderling - H2H: 13-1
Easily (or potentially) the match of the day.
Robin beat him in an historic Qf match at Roland Garros this year.
Roger returned the favor last month in the Qf's at the US Open.
This is Roger's 47th Masters Qf: 35-11. This is Robin's 7th: 2-4.
2 Novak Djokovic vs Guillermo Garcia-Lopez - H2H: 3-0
Novak has only dropped 8 games in 2 matches in Shanghai.
This is Novak's 27th Masters Qf: 18-8. It's Guillermo's first.
Guillermo has had a nice Asian swing - winner in Bangkok & Qf's in Tokyo.
He took out #1 Rafa in Bangkok - can he down #2 tomorrow?
