Clay Court Statistics Overview
David Engel has found clay courts difficult, recording 8–18 across 26 matches (30.8%). 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): David Engel has yet to record a win on clay at this stage — 0–2 across 2 Grand Slam matches. Breaking through here would mark a significant step forward on this surface.
ATP Masters 1000 on clay (Monte Carlo, Madrid, Rome): a positive 2–2 (50.0%) across 4 matches — winning above .500 at this level, week in week out, is a genuine sign of quality on clay.
Best season: 1990 — 4–5 (44.4%) from 9 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the clay record continues to develop.
