As I said in a previous article, this is not Roger Federers fault and if there is someone I like to watch and see winning tournaments it is Roger! To end I must add that Roger has enough tennis quality and athleticism not to need these unfair advantages.  Seeing Rogers demeanour and correctness I am positive that he does not approve of what is going on!  We need to move tennis away from the 1900 hundreds into the 21st century!

In agreement with the ATP and other tennis regulatory bodies, tournaments should have the prerogative to change a player or players position in the draw to balance the overall strength of the draw itself.

Another idea that I propose, since I am critical of the system, is that it would be easy to make a draw generation computer program that would base each new tournament draw on the results of the last four tournaments played!  So if did not play in the last 4 weeks you certainly will not be seeded.

This would stimulate the players to raise their level of performonce and increase their motivation to participate in tournaments, therefore benefiting the competion itself, the sponsors and tournament organizers.
