At Grand Slam level (Roland Garros): Mikhail Youzhny is 23–18 (56.1%) across 41 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): Mikhail Youzhny is 23–34 (40.4%) across 57 Masters matches — below .500 in the Tour's deepest fields. Lifting that record here would unlock better results across the whole clay swing.
