Grass Court Statistics Overview
Danie Visser has a competitive grass court record of 31–36 across 67 matches (46.3%). The record shows a player capable of competing here, though there is clear room to push the win rate higher.
At Grand Slam level (Wimbledon): Danie Visser is 10–10 (50.0%) across 20 Grand Slam matches — below .500, though the elite draw depth at the Slams makes that a notoriously difficult barrier to crack.
2 semifinals on grass without yet reaching a final — consistent deep runs that show the ability to string together wins across a full draw, with the step to the final still to come. 4 quarterfinals adds further depth to that picture.
vs. Top 10 on grass: 0–7 (0.0%, 7 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: 10–10 (50.0%); best-of-three: 21–26 (44.7%). Slightly better in five-set matches on grass — a positive sign for the Slams specifically.
Best season: 1986 — 7–4 (63.6%) from 11 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the grass record continues to develop.
