Clay Court Statistics Overview
Allan McDonald has found clay courts difficult, recording 3–9 across 12 matches (25.0%). 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 (Roland Garros): 1–1 across just 2 matches — still very early days at this level on clay.
By format on clay — best-of-five: 2–5 (28.6%); best-of-three: 1–4 (20.0%). Significantly better in five-set matches — a strong physical profile on clay that tends to tell as matches and tournaments progress.
