Thanks for that info, Julia.
According to the ITF site now, David is seeded 8th.
Nope. Seventh if you count down the players from Federer. (Andy Roddick won't be there.)
The numbers don't show the seeds but the ranking on that page.
So unless officials in Shanghai don't decide to emulate Wimbledon seeding policies (i.e. make up their own), David should be seed no. 7.
Oh, I see. His position is given as 8 but he is the 7th player in the list. I'm confusing ranking and seeding.
