Clay Court Statistics Overview
Alberto Berasategui holds a solid clay court record of 238–130 across 368 matches (64.7%). A winning majority across 368 matches shows consistent ability to get results on clay. With 14 titles, among the most prolific clay court champions in the Open Era: Nice, Umag, Palermo, Athens and 9 more.
At Grand Slam level (Roland Garros): a positive 17–9 (65.4%) across 26 matches — a player who generally rises to the occasion at the Slams on clay.
ATP Masters 1000 on clay (Monte Carlo, Madrid, Rome): a positive 27–20 (57.4%) across 47 matches — winning above .500 at this level, week in week out, is a genuine sign of quality on clay.
23 finals reached on clay — won 14, lost 9 (solid 61% conversion) — consistently getting to finals and winning the majority is a hallmark of elite performers on clay. 34 semifinals. 54 quarterfinals.
vs. Top 10 on clay: 8–16 (33.3%, 24 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: 19–10 (65.5%); best-of-three: 219–120 (64.6%). Consistent regardless of format on clay — a sign of a well-rounded game that holds up as matches develop.
Dominant season: 1994 — 63–15 (80.8%) from 78 matches. A campaign of 63 wins on clay in a single season is among the best single-season records the surface has seen — the clearest benchmark of what is achievable at peak level.
Alberto Berasategui assembled a remarkable 20-match winning streak on clay — a run of that length goes far beyond form and into a different level of dominance on this surface.
