Clay Court Statistics Overview
Stepan Koudelka has found clay courts difficult, recording 8–16 across 24 matches (33.3%). 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): Stepan Koudelka is 3–3 (50.0%) across 6 Grand Slam matches — below .500, though the elite draw depth at the Slams makes that a notoriously difficult barrier to crack.
By format on clay — best-of-five: 3–7 (30.0%); best-of-three: 5–9 (35.7%). Slightly stronger in three-set contests on clay, though the five-set record is still respectable.
Best season: 1969 — 3–4 (42.9%) from 7 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the clay record continues to develop.
