Clay Court Statistics Overview
Menno Oosting has found clay courts difficult, recording 13–18 across 31 matches (41.9%). 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): Menno Oosting has yet to record a win on clay at this stage — 0–2 across 2 Grand Slam matches. Breaking through here would mark a significant step forward on this surface.
2 semifinals on clay without yet reaching a final — consistent deep runs that show the ability to string together wins across a full draw, with the step to the final still to come.
By format on clay — best-of-five: 5–3 (62.5%); best-of-three: 8–15 (34.8%). Significantly better in five-set matches — a strong physical profile on clay that tends to tell as matches and tournaments progress.
Best season: 1986 — 6–4 (60.0%) from 10 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the clay record continues to develop.
