Clay Court Statistics Overview
Albert Portas has a competitive clay court record of 127–141 across 268 matches (47.4%). The record shows a player capable of competing here, though there is clear room to push the win rate higher. Claimed 1 title on clay: Hamburg Masters.
At Grand Slam level (Roland Garros): Albert Portas is 8–9 (47.1%) across 17 Grand Slam matches — below .500, though the elite draw depth at the Slams makes that a notoriously difficult barrier to crack.
ATP Masters 1000 on clay (Monte Carlo, Madrid, Rome): Albert Portas is 12–18 (40.0%) across 30 Masters matches — below .500 in the Tour's deepest fields. Lifting that record here would unlock better results across the whole clay swing.
4 finals reached on clay — won 1, lost 3 (25% conversion) — capable of reaching finals consistently, with room to improve at the decisive moment. 14 semifinals. 28 quarterfinals.
vs. Top 10 on clay: 9–11 (45.0%, 20 matches). Competitive against the elite, but still narrowly below .500 — closing that gap would directly elevate the overall clay court profile.
By format on clay — best-of-five: 9–10 (47.4%); best-of-three: 118–131 (47.4%). Consistent regardless of format on clay — a sign of a well-rounded game that holds up as matches develop.
Peak season: 1997 — 22–11 (66.7%) from 33 matches. That year captures the ceiling of what Albert Portas can do on clay when performing at their best and represents the standard to aim for.
