Its tough because tennis is such a world wide sport. Everyone wants to see the stars.
Maybe reduce one European Masters? Monte Carlo is already 'optional'. Do we really need a Paris Indoors Masters? Reduce an American Masters. Do we really need Miami Masters?
My calendar would be (4 GS and 7 1000s)
Australian Open
Indian Wells
Madrid
Rome
French Open
Monte Carlo/Halle
Wimbledon
Canada
Cincinatti
US Open
Shanghai
Move Madrid/Rome/French Open up a couple of weeks. Make Monte Carlo a grass court tournament and if they balk then screw them and move the 1000 tournament to Halle
