Clay Court Statistics Overview
Armistead Neely has found clay courts difficult, recording 10–19 across 29 matches (34.5%). 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): Armistead Neely is 2–3 (40.0%) across 5 Grand Slam matches — below .500, though the elite draw depth at the Slams makes that a notoriously difficult barrier to crack.
