Grass Court Statistics Overview
Tom Leonard has found grass courts difficult, recording 11–18 across 29 matches (37.9%). 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): Tom Leonard is 8–7 (53.3%) 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: 9–8 (52.9%); best-of-three: 2–10 (16.7%). Significantly better in five-set matches — a strong physical profile on grass that tends to tell as matches and tournaments progress.
Best season: 1978 — 3–2 (60.0%) from 5 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the grass record continues to develop.
