As always fake news fanatics were wrong again

 

Why don't they just give the ATP finals to the Arabs and solve all the problems with that

What 10 masters and other nonsense, when players barely play 4-5 masters a year at a high level.

 

For Basel and Vienna, it is extremely important that they won't steal top players again next year.
Both tournaments need at least one top 6 player.

It is more important for them that a new top player from Austria and Switzerland appears as soon as possible, they currently have no one

 

Hopefully not until 2128 at least.

 

Saudis did a very good job hosting the WTA finals with good crowds and atmosphere most days. The 6 Kings Slam also had good attendance and a good atmosphere. There's clearly an audience for tennis in the kingdom, plus the $ is good, all the players seemed happy to go.

I look forward to them getting a major tournament. However we don't need another 2 wk masters, make it a 1 wk masters or simply replace Miami since they're selling, move it to late Feb/early March & delay IW by a week.

 

They literally were accused of paying people to make places full.

 

terrible news for tennis if true

 

How about turning Queens into a Masters 1000 tournament? Correct me if I'm wrong but there's never been a grass court Masters tournament.

 

Simply impossible, that would be a total montage masters

Halle would be a better candidate

 

10 Masters 1000 tournaments would be simply too much in my opinion.

 

especially having one in saudi, which nobody wants

 

They will buy licence from Madrid or IW or Miami 🤷

 

You are old poster and you don't know who has IW licence?one of the richest men in the world.

 

They wanna ruin Djokovic’s all Masters won record

 

It won't do much ruin a lot imo.

Already, obtaining 39 or 40 MS in a career is no small matter, it requires consistency and longevity, and the best record per season is 5 or 6, I don't know anymore either.
It's not adding one that will change much in terms of health, consistency and level that it requires.

Then, these tournaments were invented in 1990 by ATP and so called "big titles" since the end of the 2010s, not to mention the fact that many have changed location, site, and even playing conditions (only 1 remains indoor).

Finally, the formulas have also evolved, end of bo5 finals for everyone, passage from 1 to 2 weeks for some. etc

In short ...gone with the wind, MS marks an era, not the overall history of the game... whose organization has not finished changing..

 

Since I was just talking about the constant evolution of the MS1000...

Interesting... especially if the declarations are followed up. on the circuit.

Another thread idea soon. .

List the titled players (excluding GS ofc) with the most final bo5 titles (possibly SFs b05 will also be specified because there are many..) 😌

ofc, this will include and be specified for full bo5 match tournaments like WCT finals Dallas in the 70s each round or Miami 2nd half of the 80s (full GS format 7 rounds bo5)

 

Masters 1000 in Saudi Arabia... what a crap this is.
