Grass Court Statistics Overview
Andrei Pavel has found grass courts difficult, recording 22–27 across 49 matches (44.9%). The numbers point to a surface that has not consistently suited the game — a key area of opportunity on the calendar. Andrei Pavel has reached 1 final without yet claiming a title on grass — one of the finest margins in tennis.
At Grand Slam level (Wimbledon): Andrei Pavel is 9–11 (45.0%) across 20 Grand Slam matches — below .500, though the elite draw depth at the Slams makes that a notoriously difficult barrier to crack.
One final reached on grass, without converting it into a title. That final-round experience is valuable groundwork for going one step further next time. 1 semifinal. 2 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: 10–12 (45.5%); best-of-three: 12–15 (44.4%). Consistent regardless of format on grass — a sign of a well-rounded game that holds up as matches develop.
Best season: 1999 — 4–2 (66.7%) from 6 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the grass record continues to develop.
