vs. Top 10 on clay: 7–20 (25.9%, 27 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: 22–11 (66.7%); best-of-three: 98–53 (64.9%). Consistent regardless of format on clay — a sign of a well-rounded game that holds up as matches develop.

Peak season: 1981 — 27–6 (81.8%) from 33 matches. That year captures the ceiling of what Peter McNamara can do on clay when performing at their best and represents the standard to aim for.
