Both those grass court events last year were 10s so being upgraded to 25s even if they are on hard is probably a good thing.

Well the mens events were $15K so they have been downgraded

3 x 10K is just as good as 2 x 15K surely?

Not as good for most of the players though, who will be more likely to only play well at one of the tournaments, giving them fewer points for any 'fluke' runs to the quarters or semis. Better for the fans though I guess, with more tournaments available to go to.
