Clay Court Statistics Overview
Damir Keretic has a competitive clay court record of 70–83 across 153 matches (45.8%). 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): a positive 9–6 (60.0%) across 15 matches — a player who generally rises to the occasion at the Slams on clay.
5 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. 9 quarterfinals adds further depth to that picture.
vs. Top 10 on clay: 0–16 (0.0%, 16 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: 12–6 (66.7%); best-of-three: 58–77 (43.0%). Significantly better in five-set matches — a strong physical profile on clay that tends to tell as matches and tournaments progress.
Best season: 1987 — 13–10 (56.5%) from 23 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the clay record continues to develop.
