Grass Court Statistics Overview
Eddie Dibbs has found grass courts difficult, recording 5–7 across 12 matches (41.7%). 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): Eddie Dibbs is 2–3 (40.0%) across 5 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: 2–3 (40.0%); best-of-three: 3–4 (42.9%). Slightly stronger in three-set contests on grass, though the five-set record is still respectable.
Best season: 1974 — 3–2 (60.0%) from 5 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the grass record continues to develop.
