Top 5 clay courters of all time 

#3 Thomas Muster

He had a 40-match winning streak to his name

Thomas Muster is a former World No.1 and was the first tennis player to be called the 'King of Clay', way back in the 90's.

With an amazing number of 40 clay court titles to his name, the clay court swing from '94 onwards was a glorious time for Muster. In the '95 clay court swing, he won 11 clay court tournaments and went on a 40-match winning spree.

The following year he even managed to defend seven of those titles, which eventually allowed him to claim no. 1 in the rankings.

As much as he was winning in clay, his legacy for a former World No.1 remains fairly unknown to most, except hardcore British fans, mostly due to the fact that he had very little success in grass court tournaments.

Muster was a true clay court specialist. His determination to win not only the big Grand Slams but every tournament he participated in was endless.

This was the quality helped him survive and thrive at the highest levels on the red dirt.
