It seems very weird to travel overseas 1000s of miles (with all the visa hassles these days) to play one or two matches and go home.
In many cases I am not even sure if many of these national associations have enough money to send (lower rankning) players to play one or two matches.

Given that the top seeds are also top 10 are so players, why should they get the prize money from doubles as well ?
I would tend to think other players should get a chance to upset them in doubles
This sort of spreads the wealth also ?
