October features more of ESPN's LIVE season coverage of elite men's tennis with coverage on ESPN/ESPN2 from two top ATP World Tour Masters 1000 events, the Shanghai Rolex Masters in Shanghai (airing on ESPN2) - won last year by Serbia's Novak Djokovic over Argentina's Juan Martín del Potro - and the BNP Paribas Masters in Paris, where Djokovic reigned supreme over Spain's David Ferrer.
In an epic battle at Wimbledon in July, Djokovic denied Switzerland's Roger Federer an unprecedented eighth title at The Championships, claiming his 7th Grand Slam title and moving to No. 1 in the rankings at the expense of Spain's Rafael Nadal. This month's action sets the stage for the season-ending Barclays ATP World Tour Finals next month, with Djokovic, Nadal and Federer leading a lineup of challengers expected to include Swiss talent Stan Wawrinka, the defending Australian Open champion, as well as Ferrer and Czech talent Tomas Berdych.
ESPN/ESPN2 present ATP World Tour coverage all season, airing LIVE and on short-turnaround. Stay tuned in November for final action from the BNP Paribas Masters and the season-ending Barclays ATP World Tour Finals. NOTE: Schedule subject to change.
