Grass Court Statistics Overview
Davide Sanguinetti has found grass courts difficult, recording 20–27 across 47 matches (42.6%). 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): Davide Sanguinetti is 7–10 (41.2%) across 17 Grand Slam matches — below .500, though the elite draw depth at the Slams makes that a notoriously difficult barrier to crack.
4 quarterfinals on grass, including one run to the semifinal — regularly reaching that stage is a solid baseline, with the next step being to break through to the final rounds more often.
vs. Top 10 on grass: 0–5 (0.0%, 5 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: 7–10 (41.2%); best-of-three: 13–17 (43.3%). Slightly stronger in three-set contests on grass, though the five-set record is still respectable.
Best season: 1998 — 4–1 (80.0%) from 5 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the grass record continues to develop.
