Cincinnati and Rome have always been important tournaments regardless of their masters 1000 status. Toronto and Montreal will never be as important as Monte Carlo regardless of it's masters 1000 status. Hamburg was always a terrible tournament and should never even have been a masters.
This very recent trend of adding up masters 1000 events like they're slams is stupid because only about half of them are tournaments with any kind of prestige.
