Clay Court Statistics Overview
Marcos Hocevar has a competitive clay court record of 52–58 across 110 matches (47.3%). The record shows a player capable of competing here, though there is clear room to push the win rate higher. Marcos Hocevar has reached 2 finals without yet claiming a title on clay — one of the finest margins in tennis.
At Grand Slam level (Roland Garros): Marcos Hocevar is 5–6 (45.5%) across 11 Grand Slam matches — below .500, though the elite draw depth at the Slams makes that a notoriously difficult barrier to crack.
2 finals reached on clay — none converted into a title yet. Reaching 2 finals is a mark of real quality, but the gap between finalist and champion is one of the finest lines in the sport. 6 semifinals. 10 quarterfinals.
vs. Top 10 on clay: 2–6 (25.0%, 8 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.

Peak season: 1982 — 19–11 (63.3%) from 30 matches. That year captures the ceiling of what Marcos Hocevar can do on clay when performing at their best and represents the standard to aim for.
