Clay Court Statistics Overview
Barry MacKay has found clay courts difficult, recording 5–11 across 16 matches (31.3%). 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: 1–2 (33.3%); best-of-three: 4–9 (30.8%). Slightly better in five-set matches on clay — a positive sign for the Slams specifically.
Best season: 1970 — 5–7 (41.7%) from 12 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the clay record continues to develop.
