Grass Court Statistics Overview
Xavier Malisse holds a solid grass court record of 50–30 across 80 matches (62.5%). A winning majority across 80 matches shows consistent ability to get results on grass.
At Grand Slam level (Wimbledon): a positive 20–13 (60.6%) across 33 matches — a player who generally rises to the occasion at the Slams on grass.
5 semifinals on grass without yet reaching a final — consistent deep runs that show the ability to string together wins across a full draw, with the step to the final still to come. 9 quarterfinals adds further depth to that picture.
vs. Top 10 on grass: 3–6 (33.3%, 9 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: 20–13 (60.6%); best-of-three: 30–17 (63.8%). Slightly stronger in three-set contests on grass, though the five-set record is still respectable.
Best season: 2002 — 6–2 (75.0%) from 8 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the grass record continues to develop.
