Clay Court Statistics Overview
Patrik Kuhnen has found clay courts difficult, recording 17–28 across 45 matches (37.8%). 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): Patrik Kuhnen is 7–6 (53.8%) across 13 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): Patrik Kuhnen has struggled at Masters level on clay: 2–7 (22.2%) in 9 matches. Improving at this level is the clearest path to a stronger overall record on this surface.
vs. Top 10 on clay: 0–4 (0.0%, 4 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: 7–6 (53.8%); best-of-three: 10–22 (31.3%). Significantly better in five-set matches — a strong physical profile on clay that tends to tell as matches and tournaments progress.
Best season: 1990 — 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.
