Milos needs to shut it down for the year, there's no upside at all to playing anymore with how the injuries have gone. Rest up and be ready for Australia. As far as the schedule goes, they need to compact the schedule but it's difficult to see how. They are apparently changing Rome and Madrid into 96 player events like Indian Wells and Miami, but that's horrible and totally unnecessary, especially with the big three on their way out in the next few years. If anything Miami needs to be scaled back to a normal 1000 event, maybe even Indian Wells too, although it's the players favorite event so best to leave well enough alone.
To me the solution is to move the Asian swing into February after Australia, move Indian Wells and Miami back a couple weeks, eliminate one of the clay 1000 events (and maybe give us a grass 1000 event?), move Canada up a week so there's a gap with Cincinnati, and have the US Open, then two weeks later the year end event, and the season is over basically right now.
