Clay Court Statistics Overview
Ray Keldie has found clay courts difficult, recording 13–28 across 41 matches (31.7%). 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): Ray Keldie has yet to record a win on clay at this stage — 0–2 across 2 Grand Slam matches. Breaking through here would mark a significant step forward on this surface.
By format on clay — best-of-five: 1–6 (14.3%); best-of-three: 12–22 (35.3%). 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: 1969 — 5–5 (50.0%) from 10 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the clay record continues to develop.
