Grass Court Statistics Overview
Jim Osborne has a competitive grass court record of 29–25 across 54 matches (53.7%). 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): Jim Osborne is 9–8 (52.9%) across 17 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: 9–9 (50.0%); best-of-three: 20–16 (55.6%). Slightly stronger in three-set contests on grass, though the five-set record is still respectable.
Best season: 1969 — 8–5 (61.5%) from 13 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the grass record continues to develop.
