Clay Court Statistics Overview
Peter Fleming has found clay courts difficult, recording 25–38 across 63 matches (39.7%). 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): Peter Fleming is 4–6 (40.0%) across 10 Grand Slam matches — below .500, though the elite draw depth at the Slams makes that a notoriously difficult barrier to crack.
vs. Top 10 on clay: 2–4 (33.3%, 6 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: 2–4 (33.3%); best-of-three: 23–34 (40.4%). Slightly stronger in three-set contests on clay, though the five-set record is still respectable.
Best season: 1976 — 9–8 (52.9%) from 17 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the clay record continues to develop.
