At Grand Slam level (Roland Garros): Dinu Pescariu has struggled at Grand Slam level on clay: 1–3 (25.0%) in 4 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): 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.
