Clay Court Statistics Overview
Rod Frawley has found clay courts difficult, recording 16–28 across 44 matches (36.4%). 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): 1–2 across just 3 matches — still very early days at this level on clay.
vs. Top 10 on clay: 0–5 (0.0%, 5 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: 1–2 (33.3%); best-of-three: 15–26 (36.6%). Slightly stronger in three-set contests on clay, though the five-set record is still respectable.
Best season: 1979 — 3–2 (60.0%) from 5 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the clay record continues to develop.
