Jimmy Connors Grass Court Stats & Match Results
Jimmy Connors
Grass Court Statistics Overview
Jimmy Connors has been dominant on grass, posting 185–38 across 223 matches (83.0% — exceptional). Few players in the Open Era have sustained that level of dominance across a full career on grass. 9 titles on grass: Queen's Club, Australian Open, Manchester, Wimbledon, US Open, Birmingham-2 — a record that reflects consistent ability to close out tournaments on this surface.
At Grand Slam level (Wimbledon): Jimmy Connors has been outstanding — 107–23 (82.3%) across 130 matches. Winning more than 7 in 10 Grand Slam matches on grass is the benchmark of an all-time great on this surface.
16 finals reached on grass — won 9, lost 7 (solid 56% conversion) — consistently getting to finals and winning the majority is a hallmark of elite performers on grass. 26 semifinals. 34 quarterfinals.
vs. Top 10 on grass: 12–13 (48.0%, 25 matches). Competitive against the elite, but still narrowly below .500 — closing that gap would directly elevate the overall grass court profile.
By format on grass — best-of-five: 107–24 (81.7%); best-of-three: 78–14 (84.8%). Slightly stronger in three-set contests on grass, though the five-set record is still respectable.
Best season: 1982 — 13–0 (100.0%) from 13 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the grass record continues to develop.
Jimmy Connors assembled a remarkable 25-match winning streak on grass — a run of that length goes far beyond form and into a different level of dominance on this surface.
