Grass Court Statistics Overview
John Trickey has found grass courts difficult, recording 2–13 across 15 matches (13.3%). The numbers point to a surface that has not consistently suited the game — a key area of opportunity on the calendar.
At Grand Slam level (Wimbledon): John Trickey has yet to record a win on grass at this stage — 0–5 across 5 Grand Slam matches. Breaking through here would mark a significant step forward on this surface.
By format on grass — best-of-five: 0–5 (0.0%); best-of-three: 2–8 (20.0%). 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: 1977 — 2–4 (33.3%) from 6 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the grass record continues to develop.
