Clay Court Statistics Overview
Bernard Boileau has a competitive clay court record of 28–31 across 59 matches (47.5%). The record shows a player capable of competing here, though there is clear room to push the win rate higher.
At Grand Slam level (Roland Garros): Bernard Boileau is 3–4 (42.9%) across 7 Grand Slam matches — below .500, though the elite draw depth at the Slams makes that a notoriously difficult barrier to crack.
2 semifinals on clay without yet reaching a final — consistent deep runs that show the ability to string together wins across a full draw, with the step to the final still to come. 4 quarterfinals adds further depth to that picture.
vs. Top 10 on clay: 0–4 (0.0%, 4 matches). Top 10 opponents have represented a clear ceiling on clay; addressing that deficit is the single biggest lever for improving the overall record here.
By format on clay — best-of-five: 9–11 (45.0%); best-of-three: 19–20 (48.7%). Slightly stronger in three-set contests on clay, though the five-set record is still respectable.
Best season: 1984 — 8–5 (61.5%) from 13 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the clay record continues to develop.
