At Grand Slam level (Roland Garros): Patrick Proisy is 18–16 (52.9%) across 34 Grand Slam matches — below .500, though the elite draw depth at the Slams makes that a notoriously difficult barrier to crack.
4 finals reached on clay — won 1, lost 3 (25% conversion) — capable of reaching finals consistently, with room to improve at the decisive moment. 17 semifinals. 41 quarterfinals.
vs. Top 10 on clay: 2–10 (16.7%, 12 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: 28–30 (48.3%); best-of-three: 145–95 (60.4%). Markedly stronger in three-set formats; the win rate drops noticeably in five-setters, which has direct implications for Grand Slam performance on clay.
