The president of the ATP, Andrea Gaudenzi, has dropped a novel idea that could revolutionize the grass season on the men's circuit: the creation of the first Masters 1,000 tournament on this surface, something unprecedented to date since only ATP 500 and ATP 250 tournaments are held on grass.
Speaking to the British newspaper The Times, Gaudenzi was in favor of creating another great tournament on grass before Wimbledon. “I personally like the idea of having a Masters 1,000 tournament on grass in the week that the Queen's and Halle tournaments are held. It is something that I have already proposed to the stakeholders and to the ATP leadership. I like the idea of a strong 1,000 Masters before Wimbledon. We have a Grand Slam on grass, but not a Masters 1,000. “
This Masters 1,000 would not yet have a defined venue, but Gaudenzi points out that it will most likely be held in the United Kingdom as a prelude to Wimbledon. “Of course we will have to discuss it with everyone, but it could be a way to bring a Masters 1,000 to the UK,” said the ATP president.
