Clay Court Statistics Overview
Goran Ivanisevic holds a solid clay court record of 141–87 across 228 matches (61.8%). A winning majority across 228 matches shows consistent ability to get results on clay. Claimed 3 titles on clay: Kitzbuhel, Stuttgart-2, Bucharest.
At Grand Slam level (Roland Garros): a positive 21–12 (63.6%) across 33 matches — a player who generally rises to the occasion at the Slams on clay.
ATP Masters 1000 on clay (Monte Carlo, Madrid, Rome): a positive 37–29 (56.1%) across 66 matches — winning above .500 at this level, week in week out, is a genuine sign of quality on clay.
12 finals reached on clay — won 3, lost 9 (25% conversion) — capable of reaching finals consistently, with room to improve at the decisive moment. 18 semifinals. 29 quarterfinals.
vs. Top 10 on clay: 13–12 (52.0%, 25 matches). Competitive against the elite, but still narrowly below .500 — closing that gap would directly elevate the overall clay court profile.
By format on clay — best-of-five: 34–20 (63.0%); best-of-three: 107–67 (61.5%). Consistent regardless of format on clay — a sign of a well-rounded game that holds up as matches develop.
Peak season: 1990 — 23–6 (79.3%) from 29 matches. That year captures the ceiling of what Goran Ivanisevic can do on clay when performing at their best and represents the standard to aim for.
