Grass Court Statistics Overview
Ulrich Marten has found grass courts difficult, recording 10–14 across 24 matches (41.7%). 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): Ulrich Marten is 4–6 (40.0%) across 10 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: 4–6 (40.0%); best-of-three: 6–8 (42.9%). Slightly stronger in three-set contests on grass, though the five-set record is still respectable.
Best season: 1974 — 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.
