Clay Court Statistics Overview
Ivan Ljubicic holds a solid clay court record of 105–81 across 186 matches (56.5%). A winning majority across 186 matches shows consistent ability to get results on clay. Ivan Ljubicic has reached 1 final without yet claiming a title on clay — one of the finest margins in tennis.
At Grand Slam level (Roland Garros): a positive 18–12 (60.0%) across 30 matches — a player who generally rises to the occasion at the Slams on clay.
ATP Masters 1000 on clay (Monte Carlo, Madrid, Rome): a positive 40–31 (56.3%) across 71 matches — winning above .500 at this level, week in week out, is a genuine sign of quality on clay.
One final reached on clay, without converting it into a title. That final-round experience is valuable groundwork for going one step further next time. 6 semifinals. 18 quarterfinals.
vs. Top 10 on clay: 9–20 (31.0%, 29 matches). Top 10 opponents have represented a clear ceiling on clay; addressing that deficit is the single biggest lever for improving the overall record here.
By format on clay — best-of-five: 24–16 (60.0%); best-of-three: 81–65 (55.5%). Slightly better in five-set matches on clay — a positive sign for the Slams specifically.
Peak season: 2006 — 15–6 (71.4%) from 21 matches. That year captures the ceiling of what Ivan Ljubicic can do on clay when performing at their best and represents the standard to aim for.
