Grass Court Statistics Overview
Allan Stone holds a solid grass court record of 111–70 across 181 matches (61.3%). A winning majority across 181 matches shows consistent ability to get results on grass. Allan Stone has reached 3 finals without yet claiming a title on grass — one of the finest margins in tennis.
At Grand Slam level (Wimbledon): Allan Stone is 31–27 (53.4%) across 58 Grand Slam matches — below .500, though the elite draw depth at the Slams makes that a notoriously difficult barrier to crack.
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. 22 quarterfinals.
vs. Top 10 on grass: 0–3 (0.0%, 3 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: 56–42 (57.1%); best-of-three: 55–28 (66.3%). Markedly stronger in three-set formats; the win rate drops noticeably in five-setters, which has direct implications for Grand Slam performance on grass.
Best season: 1972 — 8–3 (72.7%) from 11 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the grass record continues to develop.
