Clay Court Statistics Overview
Jiri Hrebec has a competitive clay court record of 109–99 across 208 matches (52.4%). The record shows a player capable of competing here, though there is clear room to push the win rate higher. Jiri Hrebec has reached 1 final without yet claiming a title on clay — one of the finest margins in tennis.
At Grand Slam level (Roland Garros): Jiri Hrebec is 12–12 (50.0%) across 24 Grand Slam matches — below .500, though the elite draw depth at the Slams makes that a notoriously difficult barrier to crack.
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. 4 semifinals. 15 quarterfinals.
vs. Top 10 on clay: 2–12 (14.3%, 14 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: 30–22 (57.7%); best-of-three: 79–77 (50.6%). Slightly better in five-set matches on clay — a positive sign for the Slams specifically.
Best season: 1972 — 9–6 (60.0%) from 15 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the clay record continues to develop.
