From Andy Murray to Boris Becker, everyone wants a Masters 1000 in South America. From Javier Frana to Diego Schwartzman, the voices in support multiplied.

It seems unlikely, at least in the short term, that a South American Masters 1000 will be possible. A surface issue, which would be the biggest obstacle to making it a reality, would also be a difficult task to accomplish. It is enough to review the infrastructure requirements - a second stage for three thousand spectators, a central court for 10 thousand spectators - to accomplish it.
