Clay Court Statistics Overview
Detlev Herdy has found clay courts difficult, recording 5–7 across 12 matches (41.7%). The numbers point to a surface that has not consistently suited the game — a key area of opportunity on the calendar.
By format on clay — best-of-five: 2–5 (28.6%); best-of-three: 3–2 (60.0%). 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: 1969 — 3–3 (50.0%) from 6 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the clay record continues to develop.
