Cilic is 3-0 against Johnson.

In the evening session, Nadal comes in with a 13-match winning streak and looks for his 10th win over Fabio Fognini. Nadal, who reached the Shanghai final in 2009, is 9-3 lifetime against the Italian, winning the last four meetings. In the final match, Federer looks to remain unbeaten (4-0) against qualifier Alexandr Dolgopolov, who has never won a set (0-9) against the Swiss.
