Bill Tilden.
He dominated the sport from 1912 until about 1930, winning 138 of 192 tournaments in that period, and compiling a match record of 907-62.
He wrote about the sport for newspapers, and authored the classic tennis book "Match Play and the Spin of the Ball."
His arrests on morals charges seriously tarnished his image.
Answer 2Rod Laver is probably the greatest lawn tennis player of all.
Certainly, most polls have chosen him as the greatest ever tennis player, but even as a 'grass player' only, I would choose him as the Best.
The reason I say this is that 9 of his 11 Grand slam singles titles were won on grass. Yet a further 4 Professional Slam singles titles were also won on grass, whereas, if one was to compare with Tilden [as suggested above] - Tilden won only 2 on grass.
Also, Doubles on grass: Tilden rarely won a doubles slam; Rod Laver won 7 grand slam doubles titles on grass surface.
The question is very subjective, so no definitive answer can be given.
