My New Schedule for 2008

[harrpau7]

This would be my Grand Slam/Masters Series schedule for next year

14th January: Shanghai Masters Series (Rebound Ace, perfect warm up for the Australian Open)
28th January: Australian Open
3rd March: Indian Wells
17th March: Miami
14th April: Monte Carlo (do not get rid of this tournament)
5th May: Rome
19th May: French Open (a week earlier than usual)
13th June: Grass Masters Series, dunno where, but must be in Europe (perhaps change Hamburg to grass)
7th July: Wimbledon (a week later than usual, then sack off the clay court tournaments that they have after Wimbledon)
11th August: Toronto (not shared with Montreal, perhaps the week before have two events, played at Montreal and Cincinatti, still attract a big field to each event)
25th August: US Open
6th October: Madrid (a week earlier so Federer can play Madrid, Basle, have a break then play Paris)
27th October: Paris
10th November: Masters Cup (London?)

All Masters Series would have a draw of 64 (Indian Wells & Miami still have 96), and best of 5 set final for all
US Open get's rid of the final set tie-break and perhaps revert back to the classic green court

Thoughts?

There are still too many event for hard courts and not enough for grass and clay courts and carpet too...

Add a grass master series in South Africa in September in your schedule it will not be warm but players can wear jacket like Federer did... if they feel cold...

then you can send it to ATP!

To have the Master Cup in London is a good idea!



That's all my thoughts about it
