At Grand Slam level (Wimbledon): Kim Warwick is 31–24 (56.4%) across 55 Grand Slam matches — below .500, though the elite draw depth at the Slams makes that a notoriously difficult barrier to crack.

vs. Top 10 on grass: 3–8 (27.3%, 11 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: 33–29 (53.2%); best-of-three: 68–40 (63.0%). Markedly stronger in three-set formats; the win rate drops noticeably in five-setters, which has direct implications for Grand Slam performance on grass.
