Clay Court Statistics Overview
Mark Buckley has found clay courts difficult, recording 5–16 across 21 matches (23.8%). 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: 1986 — 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.
