Grass Court Statistics Overview
Ben Testerman has a competitive grass court record of 21–21 across 42 matches (50.0%). The record shows a player capable of competing here, though there is clear room to push the win rate higher.
At Grand Slam level (Wimbledon): Ben Testerman is 12–10 (54.5%) across 22 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: 1–3 (25.0%, 4 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: 12–9 (57.1%); best-of-three: 9–12 (42.9%). Significantly better in five-set matches — a strong physical profile on grass that tends to tell as matches and tournaments progress.
Best season: 1984 — 8–5 (61.5%) from 13 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the grass record continues to develop.
