Grass Court Statistics Overview
Marty Davis has a competitive grass court record of 30–27 across 57 matches (52.6%). The record shows a player capable of competing here, though there is clear room to push the win rate higher. Claimed 1 title on grass: Bristol.
At Grand Slam level (Wimbledon): Marty Davis is 10–12 (45.5%) across 22 Grand Slam matches — below .500, though the elite draw depth at the Slams makes that a notoriously difficult barrier to crack.
One final reached on grass, converted into a title — a perfect finals record on this surface. 3 semifinals. 5 quarterfinals.
vs. Top 10 on grass: 0–3 (0.0%, 3 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: 10–12 (45.5%); best-of-three: 20–15 (57.1%). 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: 1983 — 6–2 (75.0%) from 8 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the grass record continues to develop.
