Clay Court Statistics Overview
Ricardo Acuna has found clay courts difficult, recording 21–46 across 67 matches (31.3%). The numbers point to a surface that has not consistently suited the game — a key area of opportunity on the calendar.
At Grand Slam level (Roland Garros): Ricardo Acuna has yet to record a win on clay at this stage — 0–3 across 3 Grand Slam matches. Breaking through here would mark a significant step forward on this surface.
vs. Top 10 on clay: 0–3 (0.0%, 3 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: 3–9 (25.0%); best-of-three: 18–37 (32.7%). Slightly stronger in three-set contests on clay, though the five-set record is still respectable.
Best season: 1979 — 3–2 (60.0%) from 5 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the clay record continues to develop.
