Events and Tournaments
China hosts one of the world's biggest, most prestigious and richest events, the Tennis Masters Cup. The Tennis Masters Cup was first played in Shanghai in 2002 and was a huge success. So much so it returned in 2005 and will remain a fixture in the Shanghai calendar until 2008 after which the event will move to London.
From 2009, Shanghai will host one of the ATP's new premier 1000 Series events - the only city outside North America and Europe to do so.

Famous quotes containing the word events:
“Man is a stream whose source is hidden. Our being is descending into us from we know not whence. The most exact calculator has no prescience that somewhat incalculable may not balk the very next moment. I am constrained every moment to acknowledge a higher origin for events than the will I call mine.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
