Clay Court Statistics Overview
Jose Edison Mandarino has a competitive clay court record of 71–68 across 139 matches (51.1%). 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): Jose Edison Mandarino is 5–7 (41.7%) across 12 Grand Slam matches — below .500, though the elite draw depth at the Slams makes that a notoriously difficult barrier to crack.
5 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. 12 quarterfinals adds further depth to that picture.
vs. Top 10 on clay: 1–5 (16.7%, 6 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: 34–30 (53.1%); best-of-three: 37–38 (49.3%). Slightly better in five-set matches on clay — a positive sign for the Slams specifically.
Best season: 1972 — 9–3 (75.0%) from 12 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the clay record continues to develop.
