Remember the Chennai Open song? The best.

Exactly! Toronto day sessions used to be such a boon that I took many days off work to go. First saw the 2-match format in Montreal when I went there for the first time in 2019. Thought it was highway robbery. Sad to see Toronto copying themā€¦

I love 250 events. Hong Kong WTA250 was a love fest for womenā€™s tennis and it was super accessible to fans. I love Toronto 1000s too. But it wonā€™t be as compelling once they move to the new 13 days format. I likely wonā€™t be attending in person as much as in the past.

The push for reforms and change for pro tennis have so far come up short. Just look at DC and BJKC. The current tennis establishments have made so many questionable decisions.

And they are trying to one up the Masters now that they are 13-14 days eventsā€¦. The tour will soon be just Slams and masters only. Just a huge mess.

I suspect this is USO trying to make the qualies week part of the main event. They are like: hey, if the tours are gonna turn week long masters into the 13-14 days monsters, we too are gonna blow out event up to a 3 weeks thingā€¦

I have often wondered why the English language doesnā€™t have a unique verb for ā€˜performing musicā€™.
