Grass Court Statistics Overview
Mark Woodforde has a competitive grass court record of 51–44 across 95 matches (53.7%). 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 Woodforde is 21–17 (55.3%) across 38 Grand Slam matches — below .500, though the elite draw depth at the Slams makes that a notoriously difficult barrier to crack.
3 semifinals on grass without yet reaching a final — consistent deep runs that show the ability to string together wins across a full draw, with the step to the final still to come. 5 quarterfinals adds further depth to that picture.
vs. Top 10 on grass: 1–7 (12.5%, 8 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: 23–18 (56.1%); best-of-three: 28–26 (51.9%). Slightly better in five-set matches on grass — a positive sign for the Slams specifically.
Best season: 1993 — 4–2 (66.7%) from 6 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the grass record continues to develop.
