Steve Docherty has found grass courts difficult, recording 14–19 across 33 matches (42.4%). 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): Steve Docherty is 6–9 (40.0%) across 15 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: 7–10 (41.2%); best-of-three: 7–9 (43.8%). Slightly stronger in three-set contests on grass, though the five-set record is still respectable.

Best season: 1977 — 6–6 (50.0%) from 12 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the grass record continues to develop.
