Potito Starace Clay Court Stats & Match Results
Potito Starace
Clay Court Statistics Overview
Potito Starace has a competitive clay court record of 129–115 across 244 matches (52.9%). The record shows a player capable of competing here, though there is clear room to push the win rate higher. Potito Starace has reached 4 finals without yet claiming a title on clay — one of the finest margins in tennis.
At Grand Slam level (Roland Garros): Potito Starace is 6–9 (40.0%) across 15 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): Potito Starace is 12–16 (42.9%) across 28 Masters matches — below .500 in the Tour's deepest fields. Lifting that record here would unlock better results across the whole clay swing.
4 finals reached on clay — none converted into a title yet. Reaching 4 finals is a mark of real quality, but the gap between finalist and champion is one of the finest lines in the sport. 10 semifinals. 27 quarterfinals.
vs. Top 10 on clay: 2–16 (11.1%, 18 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: 14–10 (58.3%); best-of-three: 115–105 (52.3%). Slightly better in five-set matches on clay — a positive sign for the Slams specifically.
Best season: 2004 — 10–5 (66.7%) from 15 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the clay record continues to develop.
