Clay Court Statistics Overview
Jacco Eltingh has a competitive clay court record of 36–38 across 74 matches (48.6%). The record shows a player capable of competing here, though there is clear room to push the win rate higher. Claimed 1 title on clay: Atlanta.
At Grand Slam level (Roland Garros): Jacco Eltingh is 5–5 (50.0%) across 10 Grand Slam matches — below .500, though the elite draw depth at the Slams makes that a notoriously difficult barrier to crack.
ATP Masters 1000 on clay (Monte Carlo, Madrid, Rome): a positive 9–6 (60.0%) across 15 matches — winning above .500 at this level, week in week out, is a genuine sign of quality on clay.
One final reached on clay, converted into a title — a perfect finals record on this surface. 1 semifinal. 8 quarterfinals.
vs. Top 10 on clay: 2–5 (28.6%, 7 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: 6–5 (54.5%); best-of-three: 30–33 (47.6%). Slightly better in five-set matches on clay — a positive sign for the Slams specifically.
Best season: 1994 — 11–7 (61.1%) from 18 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the clay record continues to develop.
