Grass Court Statistics Overview
Peter Fleming has found grass courts difficult, recording 18–28 across 46 matches (39.1%). 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): Peter Fleming is 11–13 (45.8%) across 24 Grand Slam matches — below .500, though the elite draw depth at the Slams makes that a notoriously difficult barrier to crack.
vs. Top 10 on grass: 0–6 (0.0%, 6 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: 11–13 (45.8%); best-of-three: 7–15 (31.8%). Significantly better in five-set matches — a strong physical profile on grass that tends to tell as matches and tournaments progress.
Best season: 1980 — 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.
