Why Can There Only Be Four Grand Slams?, Binaghi Calls for Change in Tennis

Italian tennis shone brightly at the Rome Masters 1000 with Paolini's triumph and Sinner's finals run. These results reward the tournament's significant investments. Angelo Binaghi, president of the Italian Tennis Federation, shared his thoughts in an interview with *Punto de Break*. The 64-year-old aims to continue this momentum and also highlights the need for change on the tour:

"We must support our players to inspire them to believe in achievements like Jasmine's. We also need to stay attuned to the international market to seize every opportunity, from an ATP 250 to a bigger event. The situation in this circuit is abnormal. In what other sport is there a monopoly that has lasted over 100 years?

Why can there only be four Grand Slams? Why should Grand Slam points be twice as high as those of a Masters 1000? I don’t think that’s fair, or that it helps tennis grow. We’ll try to do our part without forgetting where we came from, remembering that 20 years ago, they wanted to take this tournament away.

If we keep going this way, I believe opportunities will abound. We are world champions, both on the court and organizationally.

Jasmine Paolini
8e, 4325 points
Jannik Sinner

Because it’s a 5 set tournament. More grand slams would mean less tournaments in general to maintain the level of the players.

For me, what is unfair is that there are 2 outdoor hard court tournaments beside 1 on clay and 1 on grass. Should be equal. Why not creating an indoor GS and deleting 1 outdoor hard court?

What is unfair too is that grass has no Masters 1000. But 3 on clay, 4 on outdoor hard court and 2 on indoor.

THIS is unfair.

As we move to the end of this month and also closing out the year I am wishing all of those following me a Merry Christmas and a Happy/Healthy New Year.

Let's make that wish for all 2000 plus players hoping for 5 wins each day. Hoping ŵhen we open the results page to see all green, and no red. And especially NO CANCELED matches.

From me and my rotti JAZ, I bid you all good night, and see you in...

why did tennis tonic void predictions on the match between Chwalinska and Huergo at the Quito tournament? The match was played to completion and on time. If TT feels the match is one sided, and of course it was, then don't put it up for prediction. This is getting irritating.

The finals are here, and we scramble for the best finish. I've been chasing "King" all year and I was able to shrink the spread a little. Skelp is also closing the gap.

Seasons best to all the regulars in our league.

Will you all be back in the new year.?

Steffi Graf completed a Golden Slam (not just a career Grand Slam) when she was 19. She is the only person to accomplish that, winning the four majors plus Olympic gold the same calendar year.
