I think there should be more time between the French Open and Wimbledon and they should add a grass-court Master's 1000 tourney to make an actual grass season.

Just seems crazy that the surface of the most prestigious tourney only has a couple of low-level warm up events.

They play best out of 5 sets in the last round of qualies. I just learned this.

You're not the only one who feels this way. Wimbledon could move the date forward a few weeks. Not sure why they don't.

I think the players agree as well. No reason why they can't push Wimbledon back 203 weeks to allow for this. I certainly wouldn't mind if they phased out i or 2 of the early US Open Series hard court tournaments to allow for this.
