If another city/venue could have a slam, not a 5th slam but in place of existing 4, which one would you choose?

[ForehandCross]

I am pretty happy with all the cities and slam venues.

But in a hypothetical scenario if you were tasked with changing a slam and have it be hosted somewhere else which slam and what City would you choose?

Probably Tokyo or Buenos Aires. If in Europe, then Berlin – or Rome, because Rome already has the best tournament if you ask me.

South America or Asia

Tokyo instead of Melbourne

If there is ever a 5th Slam (quite probable when you think of expansion) what surface would you want it to be on and where?

For surface I would strongly suggest indoor carpet which would become the fastest of the Slams.

As for the location, you'd think it Russia would be the perfect spot for time zone as it would be 7 hours ahead of ET in comparison to 6 for the French and 5 for Wimbledon. They also have numerous indoor courts due to climate.



An added question would be what time of year and I'd suggest October.

Indian Wells instead of NY.

I'd pick up the newly constructed Cincinatti venue, move the tournament out of Cincinnati (and Ohio altogether), and put it somewhere in altitude. Then you'd see dudes ripping it the next week at the US Open.

For historical reasons...
If I thought the crowds would show up, Los Angeles. For decades the old Pacific Southwest Championships was by far the biggest American event outside the US Nationals itself (here's their roster of champions), back when Perry Jones was in charge of the Los Angeles Tennis Club and the development of talent in California.

For commercial reasons...
Given the development of the game in the last couple of decades, southern Europe is probably best. I'd nominate Madrid or Rome (especially the latter, which used to be almost as prestigious as the French). As a wildcard, what about Prague? Czechia's produced several all-time greats already, and continues to crank out new talents on a regular basis.

Where it'd actually be sited...
Riyadh.
