Clay Court Statistics Overview
Doug Crawford has found clay courts difficult, recording 11–26 across 37 matches (29.7%). 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): a positive 3–2 (60.0%) across 5 matches — a player who generally rises to the occasion at the Slams on clay.
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: 1976 — 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.
