Clay Court Statistics Overview
Huub Van Boeckel has found clay courts difficult, recording 6–13 across 19 matches (31.6%). 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: 2–3 (40.0%); best-of-three: 4–10 (28.6%). Significantly better in five-set matches — a strong physical profile on clay that tends to tell as matches and tournaments progress.
Best season: 1985 — 4–5 (44.4%) from 9 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the clay record continues to develop.
