Grass Court Statistics Overview
David Nalbandian has an impressive grass court record of 31–14 across 45 matches (68.9% — strong). A win rate of that calibre over 45 matches is a reliable indicator of genuine quality on this surface. David Nalbandian 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 19–8 (70.4%) across 27 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. 3 semifinals. 4 quarterfinals.
