Make the Year-End Finals an 8-Player Round Robin?

Here’s a thought for the ATP and WTA Finals: instead of splitting the players into two groups, all 8 should play each other in a single round-robin format, with the top two advancing straight to the final. That would be 29 matches in total, and I feel like it would be the ultimate test of consistency and endurance against the entire field.

What do you all think?
