Clay Court Statistics Overview
Petr Korda holds a solid clay court record of 89–65 across 154 matches (57.8%). A winning majority across 154 matches shows consistent ability to get results on clay. Petr Korda has reached 7 finals without yet claiming a title on clay — one of the finest margins in tennis.
At Grand Slam level (Roland Garros): Petr Korda is 15–11 (57.7%) across 26 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): Petr Korda is 14–16 (46.7%) across 30 Masters matches — below .500 in the Tour's deepest fields. Lifting that record here would unlock better results across the whole clay swing.
7 finals reached on clay — none converted into a title yet. Reaching 7 finals is a mark of real quality, but the gap between finalist and champion is one of the finest lines in the sport. 7 semifinals. 12 quarterfinals.
vs. Top 10 on clay: 8–11 (42.1%, 19 matches). Competitive against the elite, but still narrowly below .500 — closing that gap would directly elevate the overall clay court profile.
By format on clay — best-of-five: 19–11 (63.3%); best-of-three: 70–54 (56.5%). Slightly better in five-set matches on clay — a positive sign for the Slams specifically.
Best season: 1996 — 10–3 (76.9%) from 13 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the clay record continues to develop.
