Clay Court Statistics Overview
Martin Jaite has an impressive clay court record of 231–117 across 348 matches (66.4% — strong). A win rate of that calibre over 348 matches is a reliable indicator of genuine quality on this surface. 9 titles on clay: Nice, Gstaad, Buenos Aires, Bologna, Stuttgart, Palermo, Madrid, Barcelona — a record that reflects consistent ability to close out tournaments on this surface.
At Grand Slam level (Roland Garros): a positive 19–9 (67.9%) across 28 matches — a player who generally rises to the occasion at the Slams on clay.
ATP Masters 1000 on clay (Monte Carlo, Madrid, Rome): Martin Jaite has struggled at Masters level on clay: 3–9 (25.0%) in 12 matches. Improving at this level is the clearest path to a stronger overall record on this surface.
16 finals reached on clay — won 9, lost 7 (solid 56% conversion) — consistently getting to finals and winning the majority is a hallmark of elite performers on clay. 26 semifinals. 47 quarterfinals.
vs. Top 10 on clay: 10–25 (28.6%, 35 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: 31–18 (63.3%); best-of-three: 200–99 (66.9%). Slightly stronger in three-set contests on clay, though the five-set record is still respectable.
Dominant season: 1989 — 33–9 (78.6%) from 42 matches. A campaign of 33 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.
