Clay Court Statistics Overview
Todd Witsken has found clay courts difficult, recording 17–32 across 49 matches (34.7%). 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): Todd Witsken has struggled at Grand Slam level on clay: 2–7 (22.2%) in 9 matches. The best-of-five format and elite fields make this the toughest benchmark on this surface.
ATP Masters 1000 on clay (Monte Carlo, Madrid, Rome): Todd Witsken has struggled at Masters level on clay: 0–3 (0.0%) in 3 matches. Improving at this level is the clearest path to a stronger overall record on this surface.
4 quarterfinals on clay, including one run to the semifinal — regularly reaching that stage is a solid baseline, with the next step being to break through to the final rounds more often.
vs. Top 10 on clay: 1–5 (16.7%, 6 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: 2–7 (22.2%); best-of-three: 15–25 (37.5%). Markedly stronger in three-set formats; the win rate drops noticeably in five-setters, which has direct implications for Grand Slam performance on clay.
Best season: 1992 — 5–3 (62.5%) from 8 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the clay record continues to develop.
