Clay Court Statistics Overview
Tim Henman has a competitive clay court record of 63–56 across 119 matches (52.9%). The record shows a player capable of competing here, though there is clear room to push the win rate higher.
At Grand Slam level (Roland Garros): Tim Henman is 16–12 (57.1%) across 28 Grand Slam matches — below .500, though the elite draw depth at the Slams makes that a notoriously difficult barrier to crack.
ATP Masters 1000 on clay (Monte Carlo, Madrid, Rome): a positive 34–28 (54.8%) across 62 matches — winning above .500 at this level, week in week out, is a genuine sign of quality on clay.
2 semifinals on clay without yet reaching a final — consistent deep runs that show the ability to string together wins across a full draw, with the step to the final still to come. 6 quarterfinals adds further depth to that picture.
vs. Top 10 on clay: 2–7 (22.2%, 9 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: 21–17 (55.3%); best-of-three: 42–39 (51.9%). Slightly better in five-set matches on clay — a positive sign for the Slams specifically.
Best season: 2004 — 12–5 (70.6%) from 17 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the clay record continues to develop.
