Clay Court Statistics Overview
Paul Hutchins has found clay courts difficult, recording 8–11 across 19 matches (42.1%). 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.
By format on clay — best-of-five: 1–9 (10.0%); best-of-three: 7–2 (77.8%). Markedly stronger in three-set formats; the win rate drops noticeably in five-setters, which has direct implications for Grand Slam performance on clay.
Best season: 1968 — 6–6 (50.0%) from 12 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the clay record continues to develop.
