Each and every tennis event (pretty much) consists of a single-loss elimination tournament with seed seperation, ... QFs SFs, ... and games and sets - what if we instead had a season with:
only 3 months of tournaments, and with seperate brackets for the top 4, rest of top 20 & non seeds, then one of the runnersup qualifies to the Super Four through a mass single-tiebreaker loss elimination game.
Then 1 month of playing in 6 man national teams only (+ a doubles & 2 tagteam match types making them 5/9 clashes)
the 6 months of wrestling federation or boxing card inspired play where only every 7th episode is a Super Main Event and most other matches are mere big vs small challenge matches,
and then 1 month of round-robin or 3 phases with a cut and a ladder match finale for the Super 16; while 20 nations and regions of the world hold similar events for the best qualifying runners up ....
& then a rest month.
I ask would it not be better for the sport, the players and the viewers?
