Grass Court Statistics Overview
Kenneth Carlsen has a competitive grass court record of 31–37 across 68 matches (45.6%). The record shows a player capable of competing here, though there is clear room to push the win rate higher. Kenneth Carlsen has reached 1 final without yet claiming a title on grass — one of the finest margins in tennis.
At Grand Slam level (Wimbledon): Kenneth Carlsen is 8–11 (42.1%) across 19 Grand Slam matches — below .500, though the elite draw depth at the Slams makes that a notoriously difficult barrier to crack.
One final reached on grass, without converting it into a title. That final-round experience is valuable groundwork for going one step further next time. 3 semifinals. 5 quarterfinals.
vs. Top 10 on grass: 3–3 (50.0%, 6 matches). Competitive against the elite, but still narrowly below .500 — closing that gap would directly elevate the overall grass court profile.
By format on grass — best-of-five: 8–11 (42.1%); best-of-three: 23–26 (46.9%). Slightly stronger in three-set contests on grass, though the five-set record is still respectable.
Best season: 1999 — 6–3 (66.7%) from 9 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the grass record continues to develop.
