Grass Court Statistics Overview
Tom Gorman holds a solid grass court record of 99–63 across 162 matches (61.1%). A winning majority across 162 matches shows consistent ability to get results on grass. Tom Gorman has reached 3 finals without yet claiming a title on grass — one of the finest margins in tennis.
At Grand Slam level (Wimbledon): a positive 33–22 (60.0%) across 55 matches — a player who generally rises to the occasion at the Slams on grass.
3 finals reached on grass — none converted into a title yet. Reaching 3 finals is a mark of real quality, but the gap between finalist and champion is one of the finest lines in the sport. 10 semifinals. 14 quarterfinals.
