Roddick has had an extremely good start to the season, he has little to worry about dropping out of the top ten. But Roddick's point isn't really valid. Look at Doha and how many big names were there this year and last...it's only a 250 event.
Doha's practically an exhibition. I've seen some of those matches . . . not a whole lot of effort, imo. But why should they make Queen's a 500? They've already got 8 of the top 11!!!!!!

Doha had 3 top 10 players
It should be a damn Masters.
It should be a damn Masters.
Better yet, should be a damn slam.

Why not a compromise and make Queen's a 375? :shock:But Queen's is Queen's. It SHOULD be a 500.

Federer doesn't play Queens because he's scared of Nadal.
Better yet, should be a damn slam.
I'm pretty sure he was playing Halle before Nadal was a force on grass. Even though I tend to agree with you on some issues, you really don't need to be an over the top troll. It really kinda...well it doesn't help.
Im just messing around, no harm in that.
Queens needs to be at least a 500 event.
Last year it had four, both times including the number 1 and 2 players in the world. Point is, strength of draw isn't really that significant. Last year Queens had four of the top ten, but included Monfils and Simon...not exactly incredible threats on grass. I think it's possible Queen's could make a good grass master's event, but using the draw as a reason why is specious at best. It's not like every year they have incredible draws.
Wasn't it a 500 when Andy Murray won it?
