Clay Court Statistics Overview
Andre Sa has found clay courts difficult, recording 12–31 across 43 matches (27.9%). 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): Andre Sa has yet to record a win on clay at this stage — 0–3 across 3 Grand Slam matches. Breaking through here would mark a significant step forward on this surface.
vs. Top 10 on clay: 0–3 (0.0%, 3 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: 0–3 (0.0%); best-of-three: 12–28 (30.0%). Markedly stronger in three-set formats; the win rate drops noticeably in five-setters, which has direct implications for Grand Slam performance on clay.
Best season: 2002 — 6–6 (50.0%) from 12 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the clay record continues to develop.
