Rod Laver has been dominant on grass, posting 95–17 across 112 matches (84.8% — exceptional). Few players in the Open Era have sustained that level of dominance across a full career on grass. 9 titles on grass: Boston-1, Wimbledon, Australian Open, Baltimore, US Open, Sydney, Queen's Club, South Orange — a record that reflects consistent ability to close out tournaments on this surface.

At Grand Slam level (Wimbledon): Rod Laver has been outstanding — 44–8 (84.6%) across 52 matches. Winning more than 7 in 10 Grand Slam matches on grass is the benchmark of an all-time great on this surface.

13 finals reached on grass — won 9, lost 4 (solid 69% conversion) — consistently getting to finals and winning the majority is a hallmark of elite performers on grass. 14 semifinals. 17 quarterfinals.

By format on grass — best-of-five: 66–10 (86.8%); best-of-three: 29–7 (80.6%). Slightly better in five-set matches on grass — a positive sign for the Slams specifically.

Dominant season: 1969 — 35–4 (89.7%) from 39 matches. A campaign of 35 wins on grass in a single season is among the best single-season records the surface has seen — the clearest benchmark of what is achievable at peak level.

Rod Laver assembled a remarkable 25-match winning streak on grass — a run of that length goes far beyond form and into a different level of dominance on this surface.
