Clay Court Statistics Overview
Marc Rosset has a competitive clay court record of 118–115 across 233 matches (50.6%). The record shows a player capable of competing here, though there is clear room to push the win rate higher. Claimed 3 titles on clay: Nice, Geneva, Barcelona Olympics.
At Grand Slam level (Roland Garros): Marc Rosset is 12–13 (48.0%) across 25 Grand Slam matches — below .500, though the elite draw depth at the Slams makes that a notoriously difficult barrier to crack.
ATP Masters 1000 on clay (Monte Carlo, Madrid, Rome): Marc Rosset is 26–30 (46.4%) across 56 Masters matches — below .500 in the Tour's deepest fields. Lifting that record here would unlock better results across the whole clay swing.
6 finals reached on clay — won 3, lost 3 (solid 50% conversion) — consistently getting to finals and winning the majority is a hallmark of elite performers on clay. 12 semifinals. 20 quarterfinals.
vs. Top 10 on clay: 12–14 (46.2%, 26 matches). Competitive against the elite, but still narrowly below .500 — closing that gap would directly elevate the overall clay court profile.
By format on clay — best-of-five: 18–18 (50.0%); best-of-three: 100–97 (50.8%). Consistent regardless of format on clay — a sign of a well-rounded game that holds up as matches develop.
Best season: 1989 — 7–1 (87.5%) from 8 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the clay record continues to develop.
