Clay Court Statistics Overview
Per Hegna has found clay courts difficult, recording 11–14 across 25 matches (44.0%). The numbers point to a surface that has not consistently suited the game — a key area of opportunity on the calendar.
By format on clay — best-of-five: 7–13 (35.0%); best-of-three: 4–1 (80.0%). 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: 1976 — 3–3 (50.0%) from 6 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the clay record continues to develop.
