Grass Court Statistics Overview
Shlomo Glickstein has found grass courts difficult, recording 16–20 across 36 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): Shlomo Glickstein is 9–12 (42.9%) across 21 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: 1–2 (33.3%, 3 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: 10–14 (41.7%); best-of-three: 6–6 (50.0%). 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: 1981 — 5–3 (62.5%) from 8 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the grass record continues to develop.
