Clay Court Statistics Overview
Gaston Etlis has found clay courts difficult, recording 14–36 across 50 matches (28.0%). 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): 1–2 across just 3 matches — still very early days at this level on clay.
By format on clay — best-of-five: 1–2 (33.3%); best-of-three: 13–34 (27.7%). Slightly better in five-set matches on clay — a positive sign for the Slams specifically.
Best season: 1997 — 2–3 (40.0%) from 5 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the clay record continues to develop.
