Grass Court Statistics Overview
Stefan Edberg has been dominant on grass, posting 99–27 across 126 matches (78.6% — exceptional). Few players in the Open Era have sustained that level of dominance across a full career on grass. 5 titles on grass: Australian Open, Wimbledon, Queen's Club — a record that reflects consistent ability to close out tournaments on this surface.
At Grand Slam level (Wimbledon): Stefan Edberg has been outstanding — 64–14 (82.1%) across 78 matches. Winning more than 7 in 10 Grand Slam matches on grass is the benchmark of an all-time great on this surface.
8 finals reached on grass — won 5, lost 3 (solid 63% conversion) — consistently getting to finals and winning the majority is a hallmark of elite performers on grass. 14 semifinals. 19 quarterfinals.
vs. Top 10 on grass: 10–11 (47.6%, 21 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: 64–15 (81.0%); best-of-three: 35–12 (74.5%). Slightly better in five-set matches on grass — a positive sign for the Slams specifically.
Best season: 1988 — 12–1 (92.3%) from 13 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the grass record continues to develop.
Stefan Edberg assembled a remarkable 17-match winning streak on grass — a run of that length goes far beyond form and into a different level of dominance on this surface.
