Clay Court Statistics Overview
Michael Llodra has found clay courts difficult, recording 20–40 across 60 matches (33.3%). 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): Michael Llodra is 10–15 (40.0%) 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): Michael Llodra has struggled at Masters level on clay: 9–18 (33.3%) in 27 matches. Improving at this level is the clearest path to a stronger overall record on this surface.
vs. Top 10 on clay: 0–8 (0.0%, 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.
By format on clay — best-of-five: 10–15 (40.0%); best-of-three: 10–25 (28.6%). Significantly better in five-set matches — a strong physical profile on clay that tends to tell as matches and tournaments progress.
Best season: 2008 — 4–4 (50.0%) from 8 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the clay record continues to develop.
