Irakli Labadze has found clay courts difficult, recording 26–33 across 59 matches (44.1%). 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): Irakli Labadze is 2–3 (40.0%) across 5 Grand Slam matches — below .500, though the elite draw depth at the Slams makes that a notoriously difficult barrier to crack.

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.

vs. Top 10 on clay: 0–3 (0.0%, 3 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: 9–4 (69.2%); best-of-three: 17–29 (37.0%). Significantly better in five-set matches — a strong physical profile on clay that tends to tell as matches and tournaments progress.

Best season: 2004 — 9–7 (56.3%) from 16 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the clay record continues to develop.
