Grass Court Statistics Overview
Greg Holmes has found grass courts difficult, recording 11–16 across 27 matches (40.7%). 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): Greg Holmes is 8–8 (50.0%) across 16 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: 8–8 (50.0%); best-of-three: 3–8 (27.3%). Significantly better in five-set matches — a strong physical profile on grass that tends to tell as matches and tournaments progress.
Best season: 1984 — 3–4 (42.9%) from 7 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the grass record continues to develop.
