What are your views
No way will she play both Charleston and Stuttgart and both Doha and Dubai. And if she goes deep at RG again I doubt she'd play Birmingham. I hope she does start playing the post-OZ Middle Eastern swing though. Other than that I agree.
The options could be to remove Doha if she needed more rest and needed to attend Fashion Week and the Vanity Fair after party I would also possibility remove Stanford or Toronto for the purpose of not being too tired by the time the US Open comes around.
yes, pity, Masha couldn't play the USO from 2007-2009.
don't forget when she had to pull out and give karolina a walkover in R4 in 2010
i'd guesss
Brisbane
Australian Open
Paris Indoors
Indian Wells
Miami
Stuttgart
Madrid
Rome
Roland Garros
Birmingham (probs knows not to make the same mistake she did this year. I mean disgust @ playing claycourt tennis at Wimbledon this year )
Wimbledon
Stanford
Cincinnati
US Open
Tokyo
Beijing
Istanbul
@ the OP: I see you like to talk about players' schedules, you opened a lot of threads about it

These are enough to keep points (Brisbane and Doha where she didn't play this year) and if she really wants to try to win Wimbledon like she said, better go with a long grass season (depending on how deep she's going at RG)
I would love if she play Fed Cup, Russia needs her.
What's the rule on Olympic eligibility? Is it 2 ties for all 4 years prior to 2016 or just 2 ties for 2015 and 2016? Just trying to figure out if Maria (potentially) not playing next year means she doesn't want to qualify for Rio or if she's just being Lazy-American-Pova.

if I'm not mistaken 3 Fed CUP ties in 4 years are required by ITF
