The 2013 Bank of Communications Shanghai Masters was a professional ranking snooker tournament that took place between 16 and 22 September 2013 at the Shanghai Grand Stage in Shanghai, China. It was the third ranking event of the 2013/2014 season.[1]
John Higgins was the defending champion,[2][3] but he lost 1–5 against Mark Davis in the last 16.
Ding Junhui won his seventh ranking title by defeating Xiao Guodong 10–6 in the final.[4][5] This was the first time that two Chinese players had reached the final of a ranking event, but was also the first of three consecutive ranking finals between Asian players, all of which were won by Ding.[6]
