Clay Court Statistics Overview
Dimitru Haradau has found clay courts difficult, recording 8–11 across 19 matches (42.1%). The numbers point to a surface that has not consistently suited the game — a key area of opportunity on the calendar.
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.
By format on clay — best-of-five: 7–8 (46.7%); best-of-three: 1–3 (25.0%). Significantly better in five-set matches — a strong physical profile on clay that tends to tell as matches and tournaments progress.
Best season: 1977 — 4–4 (50.0%) from 8 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the clay record continues to develop.
