Grass Court Statistics Overview
Chip Hooper has found grass courts difficult, recording 13–19 across 32 matches (40.6%). 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): Chip Hooper is 5–7 (41.7%) across 12 Grand Slam matches — below .500, though the elite draw depth at the Slams makes that a notoriously difficult barrier to crack.
By format on grass — best-of-five: 5–7 (41.7%); best-of-three: 8–12 (40.0%). Consistent regardless of format on grass — a sign of a well-rounded game that holds up as matches develop.
Best season: 1982 — 4–3 (57.1%) from 7 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the grass record continues to develop.
