Grass Court Statistics Overview
Keith Hancock has a competitive grass court record of 11–12 across 23 matches (47.8%). The record shows a player capable of competing here, though there is clear room to push the win rate higher.
At Grand Slam level (Wimbledon): Keith Hancock is 3–4 (42.9%) across 7 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: 2–5 (28.6%); best-of-three: 9–7 (56.3%). 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: 1974 — 5–4 (55.6%) from 9 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the grass record continues to develop.
