Grass Court Statistics Overview
Vijay Amritraj has an impressive grass court record of 116–57 across 173 matches (67.1% — strong). A win rate of that calibre over 173 matches is a reliable indicator of genuine quality on this surface. 7 titles on grass: New Delhi, Beckenham, Newport, Auckland, Bristol — a record that reflects consistent ability to close out tournaments on this surface.
At Grand Slam level (Wimbledon): Vijay Amritraj is 30–22 (57.7%) across 52 Grand Slam matches — below .500, though the elite draw depth at the Slams makes that a notoriously difficult barrier to crack.
9 finals reached on grass — converted 7 into titles (outstanding 78% conversion rate). Converting finals at that rate separates champions from contenders. 11 semifinals. 18 quarterfinals.
vs. Top 10 on grass: 4–10 (28.6%, 14 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: 51–30 (63.0%); best-of-three: 65–27 (70.7%). Slightly stronger in three-set contests on grass, though the five-set record is still respectable.
Best season: 1976 — 10–2 (83.3%) from 12 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the grass record continues to develop.
