Arnaud Clement has found clay courts difficult, recording 49–71 across 120 matches (40.8%). 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): Arnaud Clement is 11–15 (42.3%) across 26 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): Arnaud Clement has struggled at Masters level on clay: 10–20 (33.3%) in 30 matches. Improving at this level is the clearest path to a stronger overall record on this surface.

vs. Top 10 on clay: 3–13 (18.8%, 16 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: 16–16 (50.0%); best-of-three: 33–55 (37.5%). Significantly better in five-set matches — a strong physical profile on clay that tends to tell as matches and tournaments progress.

Best season: 2003 — 7–6 (53.8%) from 13 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the clay record continues to develop.
