Top 5: Kings of Grass Court Tennis
Before 1975, when three of the four Grand Slam events were played on grass, proficiency on grass courts was necessary to achieve tennis stardom.
The U.S. Pro Championships, a major event for professionals before the Open Era began in 1968, was also contested on grass sometimes.
Today, Wimbledon is the only major tournament played on grass, with the few other grass-court tournaments serving primarily as Wimbledon tuneups.
In ranking our 'Top 5 Kings of Grass', we considered how dominant the player was in the major grass-court tournaments of his era, giving more weight to success in the Open Era because the depth of talent was much greater.
