Since there is again a good chance that a non slam winner (or finalist for that matter) will end the year ranked number 1 over a winner of 2 slams. I ask the question why not eliminate the slams and have 52 weeks of Eastborne, Dohai, Dubai, Linz, LA, New Haven, Tokyo, etc.. Apparently winning titles with 1 or 2 top players is more important than winning a 2 week tournament with all the top players?
Better idea. The Australian Open has always been the "weaker cousin" in the Slams, so how about we cancel it and everyone just plays 3 tournaments a year?
