Norman Holmes Grass Court Stats & Match Results
Norman Holmes
Grass Court Statistics Overview
Norman Holmes has found grass courts difficult, recording 8–10 across 18 matches (44.4%). 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): Norman Holmes is 4–4 (50.0%) across 8 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: 4–4 (50.0%); best-of-three: 4–6 (40.0%). Significantly better in five-set matches — a strong physical profile on grass that tends to tell as matches and tournaments progress.
Best season: 1974 — 4–3 (57.1%) from 7 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the grass record continues to develop.
