At Grand Slam level (Roland Garros): Patrick McEnroe is 4–4 (50.0%) across 8 Grand Slam matches — below .500, though the elite draw depth at the Slams makes that a notoriously difficult barrier to crack.

By format on clay — best-of-five: 4–4 (50.0%); best-of-three: 9–18 (33.3%). Significantly better in five-set matches — a strong physical profile on clay that tends to tell as matches and tournaments progress.

Best season: 1993 — 6–3 (66.7%) from 9 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the clay record continues to develop.
