Clay Court Statistics Overview
Hans Nerell has found clay courts difficult, recording 5–10 across 15 matches (33.3%). 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): 1–1 across just 2 matches — still very early days at this level on clay.
By format on clay — best-of-five: 3–8 (27.3%); best-of-three: 2–2 (50.0%). 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 — 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.
