Clay Court Statistics Overview
Kris Goossens has found clay courts difficult, recording 9–22 across 31 matches (29.0%). 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): 1–2 across just 3 matches — still very early days at this level on clay.
By format on clay — best-of-five: 1–3 (25.0%); best-of-three: 8–19 (29.6%). Slightly stronger in three-set contests on clay, though the five-set record is still respectable.
Best season: 1995 — 5–8 (38.5%) from 13 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the clay record continues to develop.
