Clay Court Statistics Overview
Alvaro Betancur has found clay courts difficult, recording 34–70 across 104 matches (32.7%). The numbers point to a surface that has not consistently suited the game — a key area of opportunity on the calendar.
At Grand Slam level (Roland Garros): Alvaro Betancur has struggled at Grand Slam level on clay: 2–5 (28.6%) in 7 matches. The best-of-five format and elite fields make this the toughest benchmark on this surface.

By format on clay — best-of-five: 2–3 (40.0%); best-of-three: 32–67 (32.3%). Slightly better in five-set matches on clay — a positive sign for the Slams specifically.
