We don’t need a 5th grand slam. we definitely don’t need another clay court grand slam 2 weeks before RG. propose an indoor grand slam in October during the Asia swing… maybe.

Asia has a grand slam. Australia is more part of Asia than of any other region. Maybe if South America were to get one that would be fair but then that would be clay wouldn’t it and that’s just not on. So no, no more grand slams!
