Clay Court Statistics Overview
Dominique Bedel has a competitive clay court record of 51–58 across 109 matches (46.8%). The record shows a player capable of competing here, though there is clear room to push the win rate higher. Claimed 1 title on clay: Bogota.
At Grand Slam level (Roland Garros): Dominique Bedel is 6–9 (40.0%) across 15 Grand Slam matches — below .500, though the elite draw depth at the Slams makes that a notoriously difficult barrier to crack.
2 finals reached on clay — won 1, lost 1 (solid 50% conversion) — consistently getting to finals and winning the majority is a hallmark of elite performers on clay. 3 semifinals. 7 quarterfinals.
vs. Top 10 on clay: 0–9 (0.0%, 9 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.
