Grass Court Statistics Overview
James Blake has a competitive grass court record of 32–29 across 61 matches (52.5%). The record shows a player capable of competing here, though there is clear room to push the win rate higher. James Blake has reached 3 finals without yet claiming a title on grass — one of the finest margins in tennis.
At Grand Slam level (Wimbledon): James Blake is 8–11 (42.1%) across 19 Grand Slam matches — below .500, though the elite draw depth at the Slams makes that a notoriously difficult barrier to crack.
3 finals reached on grass — none converted into a title yet. Reaching 3 finals is a mark of real quality, but the gap between finalist and champion is one of the finest lines in the sport. 5 semifinals. 6 quarterfinals.
vs. Top 10 on grass: 2–1 (66.7%, 3 matches). Winning above .500 against the world's best on grass is a benchmark of genuine elite quality on this surface.
By format on grass — best-of-five: 8–12 (40.0%); best-of-three: 24–17 (58.5%). 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: 2007 — 4–2 (66.7%) from 6 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the grass record continues to develop.
