Coco Gauff Clay Court Record

Clay has become one of Gauff’s strongest surfaces. In 2025 she went 18–3 on clay — the most clay wins on the WTA tour that season — reaching the finals of Madrid and Rome before winning Roland Garros for the first time, beating Aryna Sabalenka in the final. Her career clay record stands at 65–21 (75.6%), one of the best on the tour. She is 22–0 at Roland Garros over the past four years against everyone except Swiatek.

Her improved movement, heavier topspin, and upgraded serve have all contributed to turning her from a good clay court player into one of the sport’s best on the surface.
