WATCH: Ben Shelton’s behind-the-back volley winner in doubles with Mackenzie McDonald was the shot of the week in Acapulco.

Question 5: Everyone loves the doubles showcase at Indian Wells. What’s your dream doubles event at another location?

Peter Bodo: I always enjoy mixed doubles at Grand Slam events, because anyone who wins the title is part of the most exclusive fraternity in tennis, that of Grand Slam champions. So those players who do take part bring their A-games and watching the way men and women relate and compete with members of either gender can be fascinating. The expressions on the faces of the winners when match point is over tells you all you need to know.

Joel Drucker: How about a mixed doubles event at the Madrid Masters? Imagine teams like Swiatek-Nadal, Tsitsipas-Sakkari, Sabalenka-Sinner. This is a discipline we mostly only see in majors. Why not try it during a clay-court tournament? Even a truncated scoring format—8-game pro set?—would still make it fun.

Matt Fitzgerald: Bringing mixed doubles into the fold at any of the combined 1000 tournaments on tour would be a neat trial, especially if there are talks of potentially expanding more of these events to occupy two weeks on the calendar in the future.

David Kane: As the two tours come ever closer to converging, it would be great to see a mixed event that concludes the season; much as a robust exhibition swing has filled the void, it would be an intriguing bonus to a hypothetical combined ATP/WTA Finals.

Stephanie Livaudais: Mixed doubles, anywhere? But especially at combined 1000-level events, where its unique format serves up another fan-centric way to showcase the sport. All the top men and women are present, and there’s no five-set burden on the guys—meaning draws have the potential to be much better than at Grand Slams.

Ed McGrogan: What if there were a few doubles-only weeks on tour? We don't need the same exact format for 40-odd consecutive weeks, and the tournaments could be held at venues that either just hosted, or are just about to host, a singles event. Indian Wells has, somehow, become the only tournament that top singles players also want to do doubles. But if they can do it there, they can in other spots.

Stephen Tignor: A doubles or mixed-doubles invitational of top players at Barclays or Madison Square Garden in New York, just before Indian Wells.
