Clay Court Statistics Overview
Henrik Sundstrom has an impressive clay court record of 130–63 across 193 matches (67.4% — strong). A win rate of that calibre over 193 matches is a reliable indicator of genuine quality on this surface. 5 titles on clay: Nice, Bari, Bastad, Athens, Monte-Carlo — a record that reflects consistent ability to close out tournaments on this surface.
At Grand Slam level (Roland Garros): Henrik Sundstrom has been outstanding — 13–5 (72.2%) across 18 matches. Winning more than 7 in 10 Grand Slam matches on clay is the benchmark of an all-time great on this surface.
13 finals reached on clay — won 5, lost 8 (38% conversion) — capable of reaching finals consistently, with room to improve at the decisive moment. 17 semifinals. 25 quarterfinals.
vs. Top 10 on clay: 12–14 (46.2%, 26 matches). Competitive against the elite, but still narrowly below .500 — closing that gap would directly elevate the overall clay court profile.
By format on clay — best-of-five: 20–9 (69.0%); best-of-three: 110–54 (67.1%). Consistent regardless of format on clay — a sign of a well-rounded game that holds up as matches develop.
Dominant season: 1984 — 47–11 (81.0%) from 58 matches. A campaign of 47 wins on clay in a single season is among the best single-season records the surface has seen — the clearest benchmark of what is achievable at peak level.
