Donaldson on playing Rafa:
You want to play against the best and see how your game stacks up. Playing against someone like Rafa is really special. If I lose, it will allow me to know what was my game is lacking.
According to ATP World Tour, Rafa has played at every edition of the Shanghai Rolex Masters except 2012. He is 12-7 at the tournament, posting his best finish as runner-up at the inaugural event in 2009 (l. to Davydenko).
Our champ is making his third Shanghai appearance as the top player in the world (2010 3rd Round and 2013 Semi-finalist).
