Grass Court Statistics Overview
Peter Doohan has a competitive grass court record of 37–34 across 71 matches (52.1%). 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: Adelaide.
At Grand Slam level (Wimbledon): Peter Doohan is 8–11 (42.1%) across 19 Grand Slam matches — below .500, though the elite draw depth at the Slams makes that a notoriously difficult barrier to crack.
4 finals reached on grass — won 1, lost 3 (25% conversion) — capable of reaching finals consistently, with room to improve at the decisive moment. 4 semifinals. 5 quarterfinals.
vs. Top 10 on grass: 1–4 (20.0%, 5 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: 8–11 (42.1%); best-of-three: 29–23 (55.8%). 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: 1984 — 8–3 (72.7%) from 11 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the grass record continues to develop.
