Clay Court Statistics Overview
Roger Smith has found clay courts difficult, recording 7–15 across 22 matches (31.8%). 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): Roger Smith has yet to record a win on clay at this stage — 0–1 across 1 Grand Slam match. Breaking through here would mark a significant step forward on this surface.
By format on clay — best-of-five: 4–12 (25.0%); best-of-three: 3–3 (50.0%). Markedly stronger in three-set formats; the win rate drops noticeably in five-setters, which has direct implications for Grand Slam performance on clay.
