Andrei Pavel has a competitive clay court record of 108–91 across 199 matches (54.3%). 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: St. Poelten.

At Grand Slam level (Roland Garros): Andrei Pavel is 6–9 (40.0%) across 15 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): a positive 19–15 (55.9%) across 34 matches — winning above .500 at this level, week in week out, is a genuine sign of quality on clay.

5 finals reached on clay — won 1, lost 4 (20% conversion) — capable of reaching finals consistently, with room to improve at the decisive moment. 12 semifinals. 22 quarterfinals.

vs. Top 10 on clay: 4–13 (23.5%, 17 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: 18–13 (58.1%); best-of-three: 90–78 (53.6%). Slightly better in five-set matches on clay — a positive sign for the Slams specifically.

Best season: 1996 — 5–1 (83.3%) from 6 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the clay record continues to develop.
