Clay Court Statistics Overview
Brian Teacher has a competitive clay court record of 52–49 across 101 matches (51.5%). The record shows a player capable of competing here, though there is clear room to push the win rate higher. Brian Teacher has reached 1 final without yet claiming a title on clay — one of the finest margins in tennis.
At Grand Slam level (Roland Garros): Brian Teacher is 5–6 (45.5%) across 11 Grand Slam matches — below .500, though the elite draw depth at the Slams makes that a notoriously difficult barrier to crack.
One final reached on clay, without converting it into a title. That final-round experience is valuable groundwork for going one step further next time. 8 semifinals. 10 quarterfinals.
vs. Top 10 on clay: 1–9 (10.0%, 10 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: 5–4 (55.6%); best-of-three: 47–45 (51.1%). Slightly better in five-set matches on clay — a positive sign for the Slams specifically.
Best season: 1984 — 10–5 (66.7%) from 15 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the clay record continues to develop.
