Grass Court Statistics Overview
Wayne Hampson has found grass courts difficult, recording 4–17 across 21 matches (19.0%). 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): Wayne Hampson has yet to record a win on grass at this stage — 0–5 across 5 Grand Slam matches. Breaking through here would mark a significant step forward on this surface.
By format on grass — best-of-five: 0–5 (0.0%); best-of-three: 4–12 (25.0%). Markedly stronger in three-set formats; the win rate drops noticeably in five-setters, which has direct implications for Grand Slam performance on grass.
Best season: 1982 — 3–6 (33.3%) from 9 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the grass record continues to develop.
