Grass Court Statistics Overview
Byron Bertram holds a solid grass court record of 31–23 across 54 matches (57.4%). A winning majority across 54 matches shows consistent ability to get results on grass.
At Grand Slam level (Wimbledon): Byron Bertram is 8–6 (57.1%) across 14 Grand Slam matches — below .500, though the elite draw depth at the Slams makes that a notoriously difficult barrier to crack.
6 quarterfinals on grass — regularly reaching that stage is a solid baseline, with the next step being to break through to the final rounds more often.
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: 8–6 (57.1%); best-of-three: 23–17 (57.5%). Consistent regardless of format on grass — a sign of a well-rounded game that holds up as matches develop.
Best season: 1973 — 5–2 (71.4%) from 7 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the grass record continues to develop.
