Clay Court Statistics Overview
Jonas Svensson has a competitive clay court record of 68–70 across 138 matches (49.3%). The record shows a player capable of competing here, though there is clear room to push the win rate higher. Jonas Svensson has reached 2 finals without yet claiming a title on clay — one of the finest margins in tennis.
At Grand Slam level (Roland Garros): a positive 14–7 (66.7%) across 21 matches — a player who generally rises to the occasion at the Slams on clay.
ATP Masters 1000 on clay (Monte Carlo, Madrid, Rome): Jonas Svensson is 10–13 (43.5%) across 23 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. 6 semifinals. 14 quarterfinals.
vs. Top 10 on clay: 5–9 (35.7%, 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: 17–9 (65.4%); best-of-three: 51–61 (45.5%). Significantly better in five-set matches — a strong physical profile on clay that tends to tell as matches and tournaments progress.
Best season: 1988 — 11–5 (68.8%) from 16 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the clay record continues to develop.
