Clay Court Statistics Overview
Patrice Dominguez has a competitive clay court record of 96–92 across 188 matches (51.1%). The record shows a player capable of competing here, though there is clear room to push the win rate higher. Patrice Dominguez has reached 2 finals without yet claiming a title on clay — one of the finest margins in tennis.
At Grand Slam level (Roland Garros): Patrice Dominguez is 12–12 (50.0%) across 24 Grand Slam matches — below .500, though the elite draw depth at the Slams makes that a notoriously difficult barrier to crack.
2 finals reached on clay — none converted into a title yet. Reaching 2 finals is a mark of real quality, but the gap between finalist and champion is one of the finest lines in the sport. 4 semifinals. 13 quarterfinals.
vs. Top 10 on clay: 0–11 (0.0%, 11 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: 16–17 (48.5%); best-of-three: 80–75 (51.6%). Slightly stronger in three-set contests on clay, though the five-set record is still respectable.
Peak season: 1973 — 17–13 (56.7%) from 30 matches. That year captures the ceiling of what Patrice Dominguez can do on clay when performing at their best and represents the standard to aim for.
