Clay Court Statistics Overview
Petr Kanderal has found clay courts difficult, recording 5–10 across 15 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): 1–1 across just 2 matches — still very early days at this level on clay.
By format on clay — best-of-five: 2–2 (50.0%); best-of-three: 3–8 (27.3%). Significantly better in five-set matches — a strong physical profile on clay that tends to tell as matches and tournaments progress.
