Max Mirnyi has found clay courts difficult, recording 41–60 across 101 matches (40.6%). 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): Max Mirnyi has struggled at Grand Slam level on clay: 2–9 (18.2%) in 11 matches. The best-of-five format and elite fields make this the toughest benchmark on this surface.

ATP Masters 1000 on clay (Monte Carlo, Madrid, Rome): Max Mirnyi is 14–20 (41.2%) across 34 Masters matches — below .500 in the Tour's deepest fields. Lifting that record here would unlock better results across the whole clay swing.

4 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. 7 quarterfinals adds further depth to that picture.

vs. Top 10 on clay: 3–4 (42.9%, 7 matches). Competitive against the elite, but still narrowly below .500 — closing that gap would directly elevate the overall clay court profile.

By format on clay — best-of-five: 5–15 (25.0%); best-of-three: 36–45 (44.4%). Markedly stronger in three-set formats; the win rate drops noticeably in five-setters, which has direct implications for Grand Slam performance on clay.

Best season: 1999 — 6–4 (60.0%) from 10 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the clay record continues to develop.
