At Grand Slam level (Wimbledon): a positive 16–10 (61.5%) across 26 matches — a player who generally rises to the occasion at the Slams on grass.
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. 4 quarterfinals.
