Grass Court Statistics Overview
Gene Scott holds a solid grass court record of 36–24 across 60 matches (60.0%). A winning majority across 60 matches shows consistent ability to get results on grass. Gene Scott has reached 2 finals without yet claiming a title on grass — one of the finest margins in tennis.
At Grand Slam level (Wimbledon): Gene Scott is 9–13 (40.9%) across 22 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. 6 quarterfinals.
By format on grass — best-of-five: 12–16 (42.9%); best-of-three: 24–8 (75.0%). Markedly stronger in three-set formats; the win rate drops noticeably in five-setters, which has direct implications for Grand Slam performance on grass.
Best season: 1968 — 13–5 (72.2%) from 18 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the grass record continues to develop.
