Clay Court Statistics Overview
Felipe Rivera has found clay courts difficult, recording 3–9 across 12 matches (25.0%). 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): Felipe Rivera has yet to record a win on clay at this stage — 0–1 across 1 Grand Slam match. Breaking through here would mark a significant step forward on this surface.
By format on clay — best-of-five: 1–4 (20.0%); best-of-three: 2–5 (28.6%). Markedly stronger in three-set formats; the win rate drops noticeably in five-setters, which has direct implications for Grand Slam performance on clay.
