I mean between Australian Open and French Open, there is a pretty long gap of around 4 months. Whereas between the other 3 grand slam, there are only one month gap. And after the US Open, the next major tournament is the Master Cup and WTA Tour Championship.
Jan: Australian Open
March: ??
May: French Open
July: Wimbledon
September: US Open
November: Year End Championship
What about another grand slam that is played indoor on carpet held in Asia, probably Japan? What do you think?

I don't think people would do that. Those grand slams have become a tradition. And the tennis players really have to get some rest, the matches r really exhausting. It is world's best tennis, isn't it?
Also, another goos reson for not adding another grand slam...I like the feeling when: I waited and waited and waited(I know it's just a month between grand slams, but it seems like centuries to me), and the competition begins! it's interesting to wait. It would be boring if there were tournaments all the time! Everyone would get sick and tired. Even great tennis fans like me!
Enjoy!

It would cause a lot of problems not only based on injury issue but also scheduling issues because some of the other tournaments they have to play are considered mandatory to their schedule for the year. Also, it could conflict with international competition schedules that relate to Davis and Fed Cup matches.

Bad idea, can you see that most players have all kind of injuries already, less not more is the solution....
