Grass Court Statistics Overview
Michiel Schapers holds a solid grass court record of 33–26 across 59 matches (55.9%). A winning majority across 59 matches shows consistent ability to get results on grass. Michiel Schapers has reached 1 final without yet claiming a title on grass — one of the finest margins in tennis.
At Grand Slam level (Wimbledon): Michiel Schapers is 11–10 (52.4%) across 21 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, without converting it into a title. That final-round experience is valuable groundwork for going one step further next time. 5 semifinals. 7 quarterfinals.
vs. Top 10 on grass: 2–5 (28.6%, 7 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: 11–10 (52.4%); best-of-three: 22–16 (57.9%). Slightly stronger in three-set contests on grass, though the five-set record is still respectable.
Best season: 1991 — 4–1 (80.0%) from 5 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the grass record continues to develop.
