Grass Court Statistics Overview
Geoff Masters has a competitive grass court record of 79–73 across 152 matches (52.0%). 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: Sydney-1.
At Grand Slam level (Wimbledon): Geoff Masters is 22–25 (46.8%) across 47 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. 4 semifinals. 12 quarterfinals.
vs. Top 10 on grass: 0–5 (0.0%, 5 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: 33–35 (48.5%); best-of-three: 46–38 (54.8%). Slightly stronger in three-set contests on grass, though the five-set record is still respectable.
