Clay Court Statistics Overview
Eduardo Zuleta has found clay courts difficult, recording 11–15 across 26 matches (42.3%). 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): Eduardo Zuleta is 3–3 (50.0%) across 6 Grand Slam matches — below .500, though the elite draw depth at the Slams makes that a notoriously difficult barrier to crack.
By format on clay — best-of-five: 3–8 (27.3%); best-of-three: 8–7 (53.3%). 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: 1968 — 5–5 (50.0%) from 10 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the clay record continues to develop.
