Grass Court Statistics Overview
Rinky Hijikata 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): 1–2 across just 3 matches — still very early days at this level on grass.
By format on grass — best-of-five: 1–2 (33.3%); best-of-three: 7–8 (46.7%). 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: 2023 — 4–2 (66.7%) from 6 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the grass record continues to develop.
