ATP Shanghai –Federer returns in style

Roger Federer made his debut at Shanghai in the doubles competition along with home favorite Ze Zhang

This was the first game of Federer after his disappointing performance at US Open where he was surprised on the fourth round against Tommy Robredo.

The former Olympic doubles champion played his second tournament of the year in doubles and pulled off an outstanding performance with Zhang. The Suisse-Chinese team dismissed Kevin Anderson and Dmitry Tursunov by 6 – 2 6 – 1 not dropping their serve during all match.
