Grass Court Statistics Overview
Karl Meiler holds a solid grass court record of 29–23 across 52 matches (55.8%). A winning majority across 52 matches shows consistent ability to get results on grass.
At Grand Slam level (Wimbledon): Karl Meiler is 15–13 (53.6%) across 28 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: 14–16 (46.7%); best-of-three: 15–7 (68.2%). Markedly stronger in three-set formats; the win rate drops noticeably in five-setters, which has direct implications for Grand Slam performance on grass.
