Clay Court Statistics Overview
Daniel Elahi Galan has found clay courts difficult, recording 27–39 across 66 matches (40.9%). 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): Daniel Elahi Galan has struggled at Grand Slam level on clay: 3–5 (37.5%) in 8 matches. The best-of-five format and elite fields make this the toughest benchmark on this surface.
ATP Masters 1000 on clay (Monte Carlo, Madrid, Rome): Daniel Elahi Galan has struggled at Masters level on clay: 0–3 (0.0%) in 3 matches. Improving at this level is the clearest path to a stronger overall record on this surface.
2 semifinals on clay without yet reaching a final — consistent deep runs that show the ability to string together wins across a full draw, with the step to the final still to come. 4 quarterfinals adds further depth to that picture.
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: 3–6 (33.3%); best-of-three: 24–33 (42.1%). 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: 2020 — 4–1 (80.0%) from 5 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the clay record continues to develop.
