Men's and Ladies Tennis world ranking , it is unfortunate that some top players do not 'like' to play on grass, therefore you will not see them at Wimbledon which is the only Grand Slam tournament (the French Open, Australian Open, and the US Open) that does not use clay courts .

THE USTA National Grass Court Championships Open Division’s is one of the most prestigious tennis venues in the world and the only ATP professional grass court event in North America .
