Grass Court Statistics Overview
Rafael Nadal has been dominant on grass, posting 76–20 across 96 matches (79.2% — exceptional). Few players in the Open Era have sustained that level of dominance across a full career on grass. 4 titles on grass: Queen's Club, Wimbledon, Stuttgart — a record that reflects consistent ability to close out tournaments on this surface.
At Grand Slam level (Wimbledon): Rafael Nadal has been outstanding — 58–12 (82.9%) across 70 matches. Winning more than 7 in 10 Grand Slam matches on grass is the benchmark of an all-time great on this surface.
7 finals reached on grass — won 4, lost 3 (solid 57% conversion) — consistently getting to finals and winning the majority is a hallmark of elite performers on grass. 9 semifinals. 15 quarterfinals.
vs. Top 10 on grass: 9–4 (69.2%, 13 matches). Winning above .500 against the world's best on grass is a benchmark of genuine elite quality on this surface.
By format on grass — best-of-five: 58–12 (82.9%); best-of-three: 18–8 (69.2%). Significantly better in five-set matches — a strong physical profile on grass that tends to tell as matches and tournaments progress.
Best season: 2008 — 12–0 (100.0%) from 12 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the grass record continues to develop.
Rafael Nadal assembled a remarkable 19-match winning streak on grass — a run of that length goes far beyond form and into a different level of dominance on this surface.
