Yes, it's too bad that some mentally retarded person had to basically sabotage Seles's career.

That incident actually caused tournaments director to 'beef' up the security level at tournaments. Of course, the occasional thing happens (such as naked men running on Center Court at Wimbledon).

I think somethings are good about it and some not. GS winners should recieve more points and quality wins should get more points as well. Everything else is a little mixed up.

I don't think that a quality win should gain more points: a win is a win, and it doesn't matter how ugly or good it is.

But say if a #65 ranked beats a #2 ranked in a tough fought match that is a big win for them and deserves some reward. The only thing I don't like about that is higher seeds don't get quality wins points.

well that wouldnt be fair to like sharapova or something, because she was #1 for a brief period and there are a lot of players better than her.....so if she beat mauresmo or something during that time, she wouldnt get any points though mauresmo is a better player than her(well thats my opinion)....

That's true I see your point. And certain players are better on different surfaces.

yeah....it kind of gives an advantage to clay players because the clay season is so long......and then there is like one month of grass......and thats it.....the rest of it is mostly hard and carpet, but there are a few clay tourneys here and there....

the reason that the clay court season is so long has given players like guadio a chance to stay in the top 20

There is only one good benefit to this new system and that is players are rewarded higher point totals when they win a slam or a big title. The rest of it is total bullocks.

Yes, the ATP does a good job of rewarding GS winners, but the WTA gives the winners nothing.
