Andrei Cherkasov has a competitive clay court record of 76–83 across 159 matches (47.8%). The record shows a player capable of competing here, though there is clear room to push the win rate higher. Andrei Cherkasov has reached 2 finals without yet claiming a title on clay — one of the finest margins in tennis.

At Grand Slam level (Roland Garros): a positive 9–6 (60.0%) across 15 matches — a player who generally rises to the occasion at the Slams on clay.

ATP Masters 1000 on clay (Monte Carlo, Madrid, Rome): Andrei Cherkasov is 12–14 (46.2%) across 26 Masters matches — below .500 in the Tour's deepest fields. Lifting that record here would unlock better results across the whole clay swing.

2 finals reached on clay — none converted into a title yet. Reaching 2 finals is a mark of real quality, but the gap between finalist and champion is one of the finest lines in the sport. 6 semifinals. 11 quarterfinals.

vs. Top 10 on clay: 6–17 (26.1%, 23 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: 16–9 (64.0%); best-of-three: 60–74 (44.8%). Significantly better in five-set matches — a strong physical profile on clay that tends to tell as matches and tournaments progress.

Peak season: 1993 — 17–10 (63.0%) from 27 matches. That year captures the ceiling of what Andrei Cherkasov can do on clay when performing at their best and represents the standard to aim for.
