Clay Court Statistics Overview
Keith Richardson has found clay courts difficult, recording 13–23 across 36 matches (36.1%). 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): Keith Richardson has yet to record a win on clay at this stage — 0–1 across 1 Grand Slam match. Breaking through here would mark a significant step forward on this surface.
vs. Top 10 on clay: 0–3 (0.0%, 3 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.
Best season: 1978 — 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.
