It's a mistake in my opinion. Djokovic should focus on Paris indoors masters at this part of the season, it's his best shot in winning a Big Title.
I'll still cheer for him in Shanghai anyway.

Do you think that the tournaments he plays like in Shanghai has anything to do with sporting reasons?
He doesn't really care at this point about rankings or winning Big Titles outside of Slams.
It all has to do with money and sponsorship.Last year after the Us Open he was pretty much done with the season but he still played in Shanghai;so we know that his big sponsors have a big say why he plays this event.
