Grass Court Statistics Overview
Chris Dunk has found grass courts difficult, recording 2–9 across 11 matches (18.2%). 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): Chris Dunk has yet to record a win on grass at this stage — 0–4 across 4 Grand Slam matches. Breaking through here would mark a significant step forward on this surface.
By format on grass — best-of-five: 0–4 (0.0%); best-of-three: 2–5 (28.6%). 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: 1982 — 2–3 (40.0%) from 5 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the grass record continues to develop.
