Ismail El Shafei Grass Court Stats & Match Results
Ismail El Shafei
Grass Court Statistics Overview
Ismail El Shafei has a competitive grass court record of 38–43 across 81 matches (46.9%). The record shows a player capable of competing here, though there is clear room to push the win rate higher.
At Grand Slam level (Wimbledon): Ismail El Shafei is 18–19 (48.6%) across 37 Grand Slam matches — below .500, though the elite draw depth at the Slams makes that a notoriously difficult barrier to crack.
2 semifinals on grass without yet reaching a final — consistent deep runs that show the ability to string together wins across a full draw, with the step to the final still to come. 7 quarterfinals adds further depth to that picture.

Best season: 1974 — 7–2 (77.8%) from 9 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the grass record continues to develop.
