Grass Court Statistics Overview
Ivan Lendl has been dominant on grass, posting 81–27 across 108 matches (75.0% — exceptional). Few players in the Open Era have sustained that level of dominance across a full career on grass. Claimed 2 titles on grass: Queen's Club.
At Grand Slam level (Wimbledon): Ivan Lendl has been outstanding — 64–19 (77.1%) across 83 matches. Winning more than 7 in 10 Grand Slam matches on grass is the benchmark of an all-time great on this surface.
5 finals reached on grass — won 2, lost 3 (40% conversion) — capable of reaching finals consistently, with room to improve at the decisive moment. 13 semifinals. 13 quarterfinals.
vs. Top 10 on grass: 3–10 (23.1%, 13 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.
By format on grass — best-of-five: 64–21 (75.3%); best-of-three: 17–6 (73.9%). Consistent regardless of format on grass — a sign of a well-rounded game that holds up as matches develop.
Best season: 1989 — 11–1 (91.7%) from 12 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the grass record continues to develop.
