Clay Court Statistics Overview
Jurgen Fassbender has a competitive clay court record of 94–96 across 190 matches (49.5%). 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: Munich-2.
At Grand Slam level (Roland Garros): Jurgen Fassbender is 9–9 (50.0%) across 18 Grand Slam matches — below .500, though the elite draw depth at the Slams makes that a notoriously difficult barrier to crack.
3 finals reached on clay — won 1, lost 2 (33% conversion) — capable of reaching finals consistently, with room to improve at the decisive moment. 7 semifinals. 17 quarterfinals.
vs. Top 10 on clay: 2–10 (16.7%, 12 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: 25–29 (46.3%); best-of-three: 69–67 (50.7%). Slightly stronger in three-set contests on clay, though the five-set record is still respectable.
Peak season: 1973 — 15–9 (62.5%) from 24 matches. That year captures the ceiling of what Jurgen Fassbender can do on clay when performing at their best and represents the standard to aim for.
