Clay Court Statistics Overview
Fernando Meligeni holds a solid clay court record of 161–131 across 292 matches (55.1%). A winning majority across 292 matches shows consistent ability to get results on clay. Claimed 3 titles on clay: Bastad, Pinehurst, Prague.
At Grand Slam level (Roland Garros): a positive 18–10 (64.3%) across 28 matches — a player who generally rises to the occasion at the Slams on clay.
ATP Masters 1000 on clay (Monte Carlo, Madrid, Rome): Fernando Meligeni is 6–8 (42.9%) across 14 Masters matches — below .500 in the Tour's deepest fields. Lifting that record here would unlock better results across the whole clay swing.

vs. Top 10 on clay: 7–13 (35.0%, 20 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: 29–20 (59.2%); best-of-three: 132–111 (54.3%). Slightly better in five-set matches on clay — a positive sign for the Slams specifically.
Peak season: 1995 — 23–13 (63.9%) from 36 matches. That year captures the ceiling of what Fernando Meligeni can do on clay when performing at their best and represents the standard to aim for.
