Wimbledon was clearly Ivanisevic's best major. His grass-court game — built around a heavy first serve and aggressive net approach — translated perfectly to the surface, and his results at the All England Club across the 1990s were extraordinary for a player who never won anywhere else at Grand Slam level.

Ivanisevic won titles on every surface during his career, but was especially dominant on indoor carpet courts — which, like grass, rewarded fast serves and aggressive net play. His 14 carpet-court titles represent more than half his total singles haul.
