Clay Court Statistics Overview
Kevin Anderson has a competitive clay court record of 59–53 across 112 matches (52.7%). The record shows a player capable of competing here, though there is clear room to push the win rate higher. Kevin Anderson has reached 1 final without yet claiming a title on clay — one of the finest margins in tennis.
At Grand Slam level (Roland Garros): a positive 19–11 (63.3%) across 30 matches — a player who generally rises to the occasion at the Slams on clay.
ATP Masters 1000 on clay (Monte Carlo, Madrid, Rome): Kevin Anderson is 15–21 (41.7%) across 36 Masters matches — below .500 in the Tour's deepest fields. Lifting that record here would unlock better results across the whole clay swing.
One final reached on clay, without converting it into a title. That final-round experience is valuable groundwork for going one step further next time. 4 semifinals. 9 quarterfinals.
vs. Top 10 on clay: 0–13 (0.0%, 13 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: 20–12 (62.5%); best-of-three: 39–41 (48.8%). Significantly better in five-set matches — a strong physical profile on clay that tends to tell as matches and tournaments progress.
Best season: 2013 — 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.
