By format on clay — best-of-five: 23–9 (71.9%); best-of-three: 48–20 (70.6%). Consistent regardless of format on clay — a sign of a well-rounded game that holds up as matches develop.

Peak season: 1969 — 22–4 (84.6%) from 26 matches. That year captures the ceiling of what Tony Roche can do on clay when performing at their best and represents the standard to aim for.
