Clay Court Statistics Overview
Chris Kachel has found clay courts difficult, recording 6–23 across 29 matches (20.7%). 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): Chris Kachel has yet to record a win on clay at this stage — 0–3 across 3 Grand Slam matches. Breaking through here would mark a significant step forward on this surface.
vs. Top 10 on clay: 0–3 (0.0%, 3 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.
Best season: 1977 — 2–5 (28.6%) from 7 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the clay record continues to develop.
