Grass Court Statistics Overview
Dick Norman has found grass courts difficult, recording 12–17 across 29 matches (41.4%). 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): Dick Norman is 3–4 (42.9%) across 7 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: 3–4 (42.9%); best-of-three: 9–13 (40.9%). Consistent regardless of format on grass — a sign of a well-rounded game that holds up as matches develop.
Best season: 1995 — 4–2 (66.7%) from 6 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the grass record continues to develop.
