Can there be a possibility of Grass Masters tounament in future?

Given the 3 week gap introduced from this year, Can there be a possibility of Grass Masters tounament in future?
It would be so much fun.

One can hope. The general consensus seems to be that a longer grass court season is preferred among fans across the board.

I think there would need to be a large investment to upgrade facilities at Queens or Halle if this was on the agenda.

Good Point.
I thought Halle and Queens are long being there and can organize Masters of course after lots of planning and preparations.

I don't think grass Masters will ever happen.

Halle and Queens are quite competitive with each other and both would want the grass Masters if there were one. Queens does not have facilities needed for a Masters tourney, but has history. Halle can easily organize a Masters, but it does not have history and may not get it. SO, in the end they will maintain equal status and be 500s.

Besides, I am not very sure that there is support from players to have a grass Masters. While players want enough time to get their grass feet, they do not necessarily want a duel on grass before Wimbledon.

You covered it! Few would really want it! It wouldn't be difficult to create; but WHY DO IT? It's not like we have this huge crop of S & V on the horizon! I can't see it; NOT EVEN A DISCUSSION! :cover :nono

Queen's could easily be made into a masters tournament . Hopefully in the future it will happen .

If it were to happen in years to come, Queens would have the gravitas of Rome by then and could have themselves as a Masters "on the cheap!" They would get the prestige of being a "1000" event and not have to supply as much for the purse! Shanghai is almost bribing the players to attended their event with so much money being offered when the tennis quality inevitably falls due to how tired most of the players are by that time of the year! Only Nole seems to be able to overcome the grind of the tour and maintain a consistent level, winning all of Asia the last couple years without much trouble! Paris can also get away with almost half of what Shanghai is being held hostage to pay the tour to make sure there aren't last minute withdrawals! :eyepop :angel:

agree...quite a point..

Now that they've added a week between clay and grass, they could just as easily add one more week. That would give space for a MSevent but I agree with GSM and his reasons for why it won't be Queens or Halle. Maybe Ion Tiriac could give us an option (on blue grass)...

One thread was created by Queens supporter. The other grass thread was created by Halle supporter. Which one the admins will delete?

Now do you understand why there will never be a grass Masters. :laydownlaughing
