Clay Court Statistics Overview
Magnus Tideman has found clay courts difficult, recording 10–25 across 35 matches (28.6%). 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): 2–1 across just 3 matches — still very early days at this level on clay.
By format on clay — best-of-five: 2–1 (66.7%); best-of-three: 8–24 (25.0%). Significantly better in five-set matches — a strong physical profile on clay that tends to tell as matches and tournaments progress.
Best season: 1983 — 5–11 (31.3%) from 16 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the clay record continues to develop.
