Clay Court Statistics Overview
Patrice Kuchna has found clay courts difficult, recording 7–14 across 21 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): Patrice Kuchna is 6–6 (50.0%) across 12 Grand Slam matches — below .500, though the elite draw depth at the Slams makes that a notoriously difficult barrier to crack.
By format on clay — best-of-five: 6–6 (50.0%); best-of-three: 1–8 (11.1%). Significantly better in five-set matches — a strong physical profile on clay that tends to tell as matches and tournaments progress.
Best season: 1987 — 3–2 (60.0%) from 5 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the clay record continues to develop.
