The 2017 Juss Sports Shanghai Masters was a professional ranking snooker tournament that took place in Shanghai, China.[1] The 11th edition of the tournament since it was first held in 2007, it was the ninth ranking event of the 2017/2018 season. Qualifying took place from 11 to 13 October at the Robin Park Arena and Sports Centre in Wigan.
Ding Junhui was the defending champion, but he withdrew from the tournament due to an eye infection. Judd Trump won 20 consecutive frames in four matches before losing 3 frames to Jack Lisowski in the semi-finals.[2] Ronnie O'Sullivan captured his second Shanghai Masters title and the 30th ranking title of his career by beating Trump 10–3 in the final.
The 2017 edition of the event marked the last time the Shanghai Masters was staged as a ranking tournament. The following year, it became a non-ranking invitational tournament for 24 players.[3]
