Grand Slam Appearances

[edit]

Clayton made his Grand Slam debut at the 2017 Wimbledon Championships after receiving a wildcard into the doubles main draw with Jonny O'Mara.[1] In the first round they played against Adrian Mannarino and Paolo Lorenzi and while up a set leading the match 7–6(7–5), 3–4 they claimed the victory when the opposition was forced to stop playing and retire. They would go on to lose in the second round to first seeds and eventual semi-finalists John Peers and Henri Kontinen in straight sets 3–6, 4–6, 4–6.

A similar story line would unfold the following year when again Clayton received a wild card entry into the doubles draw of the 2018 Wimbledon Championships this time partnering Liam Broady. In the first round, they defeated Frances Tiafoe and Jackson Withrow in straight sets 7–5, 6–3, 5–7 before retiring in the second round to Máximo González and Nicolás Jarry while behind 6–7(4–7), 3–6, 2–1.

For a third consecutive year, Clayton received a wild card entry into the doubles draw of the 2019 Wimbledon Championships playing again with Liam Broady, but this year they would be ousted in the first round by Leonardo Mayer and Joao Sousa 6–7(3–7), 6–4, 5–7, 3–6.
