Clay Court Statistics Overview
Orlin Stanoytchev has found clay courts difficult, recording 13–30 across 43 matches (30.2%). 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.
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: 4–6 (40.0%); best-of-three: 9–24 (27.3%). Significantly better in five-set matches — a strong physical profile on clay that tends to tell as matches and tournaments progress.
Best season: 1998 — 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.
