Clay Court Statistics Overview
Stefan Edberg has an impressive clay court record of 138–64 across 202 matches (68.3% — strong). A win rate of that calibre over 202 matches is a reliable indicator of genuine quality on this surface. Claimed 3 titles on clay: Gstaad, Hamburg Masters, Madrid.
At Grand Slam level (Roland Garros): a positive 30–13 (69.8%) across 43 matches — a player who generally rises to the occasion at the Slams on clay.
ATP Masters 1000 on clay (Monte Carlo, Madrid, Rome): Stefan Edberg is elite here — 23–11 (67.6%) across 34 matches. Sustaining that win rate in the Tour's deepest regular-week draws is a defining quality of the very best on this surface.
9 finals reached on clay — won 3, lost 6 (33% conversion) — capable of reaching finals consistently, with room to improve at the decisive moment. 14 semifinals. 27 quarterfinals.
vs. Top 10 on clay: 11–17 (39.3%, 28 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: 38–19 (66.7%); best-of-three: 100–45 (69.0%). Slightly stronger in three-set contests on clay, though the five-set record is still respectable.
Best season: 1989 — 14–2 (87.5%) from 16 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the clay record continues to develop.
