I think the Masters 1000 tournaments need to be changed in terms of when and where they are played.
First of all, Shanghai is irrelevant and should be canceled forever. It’s at an awkward part of the season and I don’t even remember the last time it’s been played.
Secondly, there are too many clay masters events (3) and no grass events. Because of this, Madrid should be a 500 tournament as it doesn’t even play like clay, it is way too fast of a surface. Instead Halle should be a Masters 1000 tournament, on grass, which would make the grass season much more significant. This would mean the 8 Masters 1000 tournaments would be:
Indian Wells
Miami
Monte Carlo
Rome
Halle
Canada
Cincinnati
Paris
