Grass Court Statistics Overview
Charlie Fancutt has found grass courts difficult, recording 14–25 across 39 matches (35.9%). The numbers point to a surface that has not consistently suited the game — a key area of opportunity on the calendar.
At Grand Slam level (Wimbledon): Charlie Fancutt is 6–9 (40.0%) across 15 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: 1–2 (33.3%, 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: 5–8 (38.5%); best-of-three: 9–17 (34.6%). Slightly better in five-set matches on grass — a positive sign for the Slams specifically.
Best season: 1977 — 4–5 (44.4%) from 9 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the grass record continues to develop.
