Grass Court Statistics Overview
Rod Brent has found grass courts difficult, recording 5–8 across 13 matches (38.5%). 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): Rod Brent is 3–4 (42.9%) across 7 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: 5–5 (50.0%); best-of-three: 0–3 (0.0%). Significantly better in five-set matches — a strong physical profile on grass that tends to tell as matches and tournaments progress.
Best season: 1968 — 3–3 (50.0%) from 6 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the grass record continues to develop.
