Will there be a Men's grand slam from Asia in the near future?

With growing popularity of tennis and players being more fit and choosing the games and tournaments of their choice there is a high probability of having a Men’s Grand Slam in Asia in the coming future. Many players currently playing are not even old enough to remember that before ATP took over control of the worldwide tour in 1990, it was the player’s union who controlled the tournaments.
 
Asia holds a number of ATP tournaments year round starting with Qatar Open and Chennai Open in January to Dubai also holding the ATP 500 tournament followed by Thailand and Malaysian Open in September and closing the year with China Open and Shanghai Open in October. Hard court is generally what the Asian countries provide the players with. In the recent years the Dubai and Shanghai open have seen participation from the top seeds in Men’s. This shows how important these tournaments have become for the players.
Having a look at the rate with which China is developing the infrastructure and churning out world class facilities I think it is the right time to think for a Grand Slam in Beijing or Shanghai. As per the ex-CEO ATP late Brad Drewett, "China is the largest growth economy in the world, so it’s a great platform here for men’s professional tennis, and it’s been incredible the growth of tennis the last years in China." These are clear signs that signifies that it won’t be really far when we’ll see the Grand Slam coming to China.
The Beijing-based China Open—a $6.7 million combined men’s ATP and women’s WTA tournament which was started in the Beijing Olympic Tennis Green has now been shifted to a state-of-the-art, 10,000-seat retractable-roof stadium known as "The Lotus" which clearly shows that the country is willing to spend on the infrastructure and is pretty much ready and well equipped to have and host a grand slam.
So the biggest question stands here: Is Beijing or Shanghai being groomed to become the fifth major?
Many players acknowledge that the China has the infrastructure that would fit the Grand Slam bill, but the only thing is that, the tradition just isn’t there. "Facility-wise this is big," Ivan Ljubicic once said. "There are a lot of courts, and the facilities are here to be a bigger tournament. I’m sure the China Open Beijing would love to have bigger tournament like Masters 1000 or, hopefully, bigger than that. But it’s really schedule-wise difficult to become part of it once you’re not. But I really appreciate the fact that Beijing and China Open are trying as much as they can to make us feel like it is a bigger tournament than it actually is."
Drewett who was instrumental in developing and bringing out Asia into the limelight and helping the Asian countries enhance the infrastructure under his guidance. He was careful not to misguide officials there into believing they can grow to Grand Slam status. "The history of tennis is there’s four Grand Slams, and those four events have great tradition and great history," Drewett said. "You can’t replace that. What these events can be is extremely significant events on the world tour by having a great facility, great support by their government, and great support commercially from their sponsors and television." Charles Hsuing, the co-tournament director of the China Open. Therefore, he acknowledges that the idea of Beijing or Shanghai becoming a fifth Grand Slam is a pleasant, but likely not plausible, dream.
With the kind of infrastructure being developed in Asia it won’t be really far when we see a Grand Slam being played in Asia. But the question underlying here is when will this dream come true.
