Clay Court Statistics Overview
Eduardo Bengoechea has a competitive clay court record of 86–96 across 182 matches (47.3%). The record shows a player capable of competing here, though there is clear room to push the win rate higher.
At Grand Slam level (Roland Garros): Eduardo Bengoechea is 6–7 (46.2%) across 13 Grand Slam matches — below .500, though the elite draw depth at the Slams makes that a notoriously difficult barrier to crack.
11 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. 17 quarterfinals adds further depth to that picture.
vs. Top 10 on clay: 2–8 (20.0%, 10 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: 6–7 (46.2%); best-of-three: 80–89 (47.3%). Consistent regardless of format on clay — a sign of a well-rounded game that holds up as matches develop.
Peak season: 1987 — 25–14 (64.1%) from 39 matches. That year captures the ceiling of what Eduardo Bengoechea can do on clay when performing at their best and represents the standard to aim for.
