Grass Court Statistics Overview
Byron Black holds a solid grass court record of 55–35 across 90 matches (61.1%). A winning majority across 90 matches shows consistent ability to get results on grass. Byron Black has reached 2 finals without yet claiming a title on grass — one of the finest margins in tennis.
At Grand Slam level (Wimbledon): a positive 14–10 (58.3%) across 24 matches — a player who generally rises to the occasion at the Slams on grass.
2 finals reached on grass — none converted into a title yet. Reaching 2 finals is a mark of real quality, but the gap between finalist and champion is one of the finest lines in the sport. 6 semifinals. 8 quarterfinals.
vs. Top 10 on grass: 3–9 (25.0%, 12 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: 16–10 (61.5%); best-of-three: 39–25 (60.9%). Consistent regardless of format on grass — a sign of a well-rounded game that holds up as matches develop.
Best season: 1998 — 12–3 (80.0%) from 15 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the grass record continues to develop.
