Clay Court Statistics Overview
Davide Scala has found clay courts difficult, recording 6–10 across 16 matches (37.5%). The numbers point to a surface that has not consistently suited the game — a key area of opportunity on the calendar.
ATP Masters 1000 on clay (Monte Carlo, Madrid, Rome): Davide Scala is elite here — 2–1 (66.7%) across 3 matches. Sustaining that win rate in the Tour's deepest regular-week draws is a defining quality of the very best on this surface.
Best season: 1997 — 5–6 (45.5%) from 11 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the clay record continues to develop.
