Clay Court Statistics Overview
Larry Gottfried has found clay courts difficult, recording 5–11 across 16 matches (31.3%). 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): 1–1 across just 2 matches — still very early days at this level on clay.
Best season: 1976 — 2–3 (40.0%) from 5 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the clay record continues to develop.
