Grass Court Statistics Overview
Owen Davidson holds a solid grass court record of 46–30 across 76 matches (60.5%). A winning majority across 76 matches shows consistent ability to get results on grass. Owen Davidson has reached 1 final without yet claiming a title on grass — one of the finest margins in tennis.
At Grand Slam level (Wimbledon): Owen Davidson is 14–14 (50.0%) across 28 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. 6 semifinals. 9 quarterfinals.
By format on grass — best-of-five: 14–14 (50.0%); best-of-three: 32–16 (66.7%). 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: 1973 — 12–4 (75.0%) from 16 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the grass record continues to develop.
