Clay Court Statistics Overview
Milan Holecek has a competitive clay court record of 59–69 across 128 matches (46.1%). The record shows a player capable of competing here, though there is clear room to push the win rate higher.
At Grand Slam level (Roland Garros): Milan Holecek is 8–9 (47.1%) across 17 Grand Slam matches — below .500, though the elite draw depth at the Slams makes that a notoriously difficult barrier to crack.
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. 10 quarterfinals adds further depth to that picture.
vs. Top 10 on clay: 0–3 (0.0%, 3 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: 18–22 (45.0%); best-of-three: 41–47 (46.6%). Consistent regardless of format on clay — a sign of a well-rounded game that holds up as matches develop.
Best season: 1968 — 14–7 (66.7%) from 21 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the clay record continues to develop.
