James Blake Clay Court Stats & Match Results
James Blake
Clay Court Statistics Overview
James Blake has a competitive clay court record of 46–54 across 100 matches (46.0%). The record shows a player capable of competing here, though there is clear room to push the win rate higher. James Blake has reached 2 finals without yet claiming a title on clay — one of the finest margins in tennis.
At Grand Slam level (Roland Garros): James Blake is 6–9 (40.0%) across 15 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): James Blake is 12–15 (44.4%) across 27 Masters matches — below .500 in the Tour's deepest fields. Lifting that record here would unlock better results across the whole clay swing.
2 finals reached on clay — none converted into a title yet. Reaching 2 finals is a mark of real quality, but the gap between finalist and champion is one of the finest lines in the sport. 3 semifinals. 9 quarterfinals.
vs. Top 10 on clay: 0–7 (0.0%, 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: 7–15 (31.8%); best-of-three: 39–39 (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: 2005 — 4–3 (57.1%) from 7 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the clay record continues to develop.
