Grass Court Statistics Overview
Martin Verkerk has found grass courts difficult, recording 3–6 across 9 matches (33.3%). The numbers point to a surface that has not consistently suited the game — a key area of opportunity on the calendar.
At Grand Slam level (Wimbledon): 1–2 across just 3 matches — still very early days at this level on grass.
By format on grass — best-of-five: 1–2 (33.3%); best-of-three: 2–4 (33.3%). Consistent regardless of format on grass — a sign of a well-rounded game that holds up as matches develop.
Best season: 2004 — 3–3 (50.0%) from 6 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the grass record continues to develop.
