Grass Court Statistics Overview
Greg Whitecross has found grass courts difficult, recording 6–20 across 26 matches (23.1%). 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 Whitecross has yet to record a win on grass at this stage — 0–7 across 7 Grand Slam matches. Breaking through here would mark a significant step forward on this surface.
By format on grass — best-of-five: 0–7 (0.0%); best-of-three: 6–13 (31.6%). 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: 1979 — 2–4 (33.3%) from 6 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the grass record continues to develop.
