I was watching some of Lisboa 2000 the other day, the court without the doubles-alley was pretty cool. Back then, there was a separate year-end doubles championship held somewhere else. I think it was in 2003 or so that they were combined.

I actually thought that combining them was a great idea.

How much press/TV exposure did the doubles championship ever get? I definitely don't remember ever hearing about it, although I didn't follow tennis so closely back then.
