Grass Court Statistics Overview
Mark Knowles has a competitive grass court record of 8–9 across 17 matches (47.1%). 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): Mark Knowles is 4–5 (44.4%) across 9 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: 4–5 (44.4%); best-of-three: 4–4 (50.0%). Slightly stronger in three-set contests on grass, though the five-set record is still respectable.
