Grass Court Statistics Overview
Dick Stockton holds a solid grass court record of 60–45 across 105 matches (57.1%). A winning majority across 105 matches shows consistent ability to get results on grass. Dick Stockton has reached 2 finals without yet claiming a title on grass — one of the finest margins in tennis.
At Grand Slam level (Wimbledon): Dick Stockton is 22–18 (55.0%) across 40 Grand Slam matches — below .500, though the elite draw depth at the Slams makes that a notoriously difficult barrier to crack.
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. 10 quarterfinals.
vs. Top 10 on grass: 3–8 (27.3%, 11 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: 25–21 (54.3%); best-of-three: 35–24 (59.3%). Slightly stronger in three-set contests on grass, though the five-set record is still respectable.
Best season: 1976 — 8–3 (72.7%) from 11 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the grass record continues to develop.
