Clay Court Statistics Overview
Karsten Braasch has found clay courts difficult, recording 15–29 across 44 matches (34.1%). 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): Karsten Braasch has yet to record a win on clay at this stage — 0–3 across 3 Grand Slam matches. Breaking through here would mark a significant step forward on this surface.
ATP Masters 1000 on clay (Monte Carlo, Madrid, Rome): Karsten Braasch is 2–3 (40.0%) across 5 Masters matches — below .500 in the Tour's deepest fields. Lifting that record here would unlock better results across the whole clay swing.
By format on clay — best-of-five: 0–3 (0.0%); best-of-three: 15–26 (36.6%). 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: 1992 — 3–4 (42.9%) from 7 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the clay record continues to develop.
