Grass Court Statistics Overview
John Lloyd has a competitive grass court record of 63–64 across 127 matches (49.6%). The record shows a player capable of competing here, though there is clear room to push the win rate higher. Claimed 1 title on grass: Haverford.
At Grand Slam level (Wimbledon): John Lloyd is 23–23 (50.0%) across 46 Grand Slam matches — below .500, though the elite draw depth at the Slams makes that a notoriously difficult barrier to crack.
2 finals reached on grass — won 1, lost 1 (solid 50% conversion) — consistently getting to finals and winning the majority is a hallmark of elite performers on grass. 3 semifinals. 6 quarterfinals.
vs. Top 10 on grass: 1–10 (9.1%, 11 matches). Top 10 opponents have represented a clear ceiling on grass; addressing that deficit is the single biggest lever for improving the overall record here.
By format on grass — best-of-five: 31–31 (50.0%); best-of-three: 32–33 (49.2%). Consistent regardless of format on grass — a sign of a well-rounded game that holds up as matches develop.
Best season: 1978 — 5–2 (71.4%) from 7 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the grass record continues to develop.
