Clay Court Statistics Overview
Denis Kudla has found clay courts difficult, recording 6–18 across 24 matches (25.0%). 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): Denis Kudla has yet to record a win on clay at this stage — 0–5 across 5 Grand Slam matches. Breaking through here would mark a significant step forward on this surface.
ATP Masters 1000 on clay (Monte Carlo, Madrid, Rome): Denis Kudla has struggled at Masters level on clay: 1–2 (33.3%) in 3 matches. Improving at this level is the clearest path to a stronger overall record on this surface.
By format on clay — best-of-five: 0–5 (0.0%); best-of-three: 6–13 (31.6%). Markedly stronger in three-set formats; the win rate drops noticeably in five-setters, which has direct implications for Grand Slam performance on clay.
Best season: 2016 — 2–4 (33.3%) from 6 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the clay record continues to develop.
