Grass Court Statistics Overview
Bud Schultz holds a solid grass court record of 13–10 across 23 matches (56.5%). A winning majority across 23 matches shows consistent ability to get results on grass.
At Grand Slam level (Wimbledon): Bud Schultz is 4–4 (50.0%) across 8 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: 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: 4–4 (50.0%); best-of-three: 9–6 (60.0%). Markedly stronger in three-set formats; the win rate drops noticeably in five-setters, which has direct implications for Grand Slam performance on grass.
Best season: 1985 — 7–4 (63.6%) from 11 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the grass record continues to develop.
