Grass Court Statistics Overview
Steve Meister has found grass courts difficult, recording 6–10 across 16 matches (37.5%). 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): Steve Meister is 2–3 (40.0%) across 5 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: 2–3 (40.0%); best-of-three: 4–7 (36.4%). Slightly better in five-set matches on grass — a positive sign for the Slams specifically.
Best season: 1984 — 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.
