Clay Court Statistics Overview
John Barrett has found clay courts difficult, recording 4–9 across 13 matches (30.8%). 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): John Barrett has yet to record a win on clay at this stage — 0–2 across 2 Grand Slam matches. Breaking through here would mark a significant step forward on this surface.
By format on clay — best-of-five: 2–6 (25.0%); best-of-three: 2–3 (40.0%). 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: 1968 — 3–5 (37.5%) from 8 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the clay record continues to develop.
