Oldest Grand Slam Grass Court Title Winners
Oldest Grand Slam Grass Court Title Winners
This record tracks the oldest grass-court title winners in the Open Era, focusing on the men who were still able to win on grass at ages that usually mark the final stretch of a career. At the top of the list stands Ken Rosewall, whose Brisbane 1972 title came at 38 years and 25 days.
Rosewall is the only player in this ranking to win a tour-level grass title after turning 38, and he appears again immediately behind himself with Australian Open 1972 at 37 years and 55 days, followed by Newport 1971 at 36 years and 243 days and Australian Open 1971 at 36 years and 172 days.
Behind him comes Roger Federer, who won Halle 2019 at 37 years and 312 days. Federer beat
David Goffin in the final to collect his 10th Halle title, his 19th grass-court title and his final ATP title on the surface.
The next two names show how concentrated the record is around a small cluster of exceptional careers. Mal Anderson won Sydney-1 1973 at 37 years and 304 days, then
Feliciano LΓ³pez took Queen's Club 2019 at 37 years and 269 days.
Ivo KarloviΔ rounds out the top five with Newport 2016 at 37 years and 133 days. Just outside that group, Rosewall returns with Brisbane 1971 at 36 years and 284 days, and then again with Australian Open 1970 at 36 years and 233 days.
The record number is still 38 years and 25 days: Ken Rosewall's Brisbane 1972 title remains the oldest ATP grass-court title-winning performance in the Open Era, and the top five are Rosewall 38y 25d, Federer 37y 312d, Anderson 37y 304d, LΓ³pez 37y 269d and KarloviΔ 37y 133d.
