Grass Court Statistics Overview
Rod Frawley has a competitive grass court record of 53–54 across 107 matches (49.5%). The record shows a player capable of competing here, though there is clear room to push the win rate higher. Claimed 1 title on grass: Adelaide.
At Grand Slam level (Wimbledon): Rod Frawley is 17–13 (56.7%) across 30 Grand Slam matches — below .500, though the elite draw depth at the Slams makes that a notoriously difficult barrier to crack.
2 finals reached on grass — won 1, lost 1 (solid 50% conversion) — consistently getting to finals and winning the majority is a hallmark of elite performers on grass. 5 semifinals. 9 quarterfinals.
vs. Top 10 on grass: 0–9 (0.0%, 9 matches). Top 10 opponents have represented a clear ceiling on grass; addressing that deficit is the single biggest lever for improving the overall record here.
