Grass has Wimbledon, arguably the biggest tennis tournament in the world, but apart from that, there are only 5 other grass-court competitions (Queens, Eastbourne, Halle, Unicef and Campbells HOF) all of which are 250's and most of which running parallel to each other , making the maximum amount of points winnable in a grass swing 2,750.
Now I am not going to do all of the maths for Clay and Hard courts but off the top of my head:
Hard: Aussie Open, Indian Wells, Miami, Rogers, Cincinnati, Bercy, US Open and Shanghai = 10,000 ATP ranking points
Clay = RG, Madrid, Rome and Monte Carlo = 5,000 ATP ranking points.
Remember this is only considering the 1000's + Slams, there are obviously numerous 250's and a few 500's on Hard and Clay courts.
There has been talk about upgrading Halle to a 500, however I don't know if this is anything more solid than rumors.
Ultimately, my question to you is:
Do you think that the grass swing should be given a bit more priority?
