Grass Court Statistics Overview
Jonathan Stark has a competitive grass court record of 21–22 across 43 matches (48.8%). The record shows a player capable of competing here, though there is clear room to push the win rate higher. Jonathan Stark has reached 1 final without yet claiming a title on grass — one of the finest margins in tennis.
At Grand Slam level (Wimbledon): Jonathan Stark is 4–6 (40.0%) across 10 Grand Slam matches — below .500, though the elite draw depth at the Slams makes that a notoriously difficult barrier to crack.
One final reached on grass, without converting it into a title. That final-round experience is valuable groundwork for going one step further next time. 2 semifinals. 3 quarterfinals.
vs. Top 10 on grass: 1–6 (14.3%, 7 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: 4–6 (40.0%); best-of-three: 17–16 (51.5%). 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: 1992 — 6–3 (66.7%) from 9 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the grass record continues to develop.
