Simone Bolelli has a competitive clay court record of 56–60 across 116 matches (48.3%). The record shows a player capable of competing here, though there is clear room to push the win rate higher. Simone Bolelli has reached 1 final without yet claiming a title on clay — one of the finest margins in tennis.

At Grand Slam level (Roland Garros): Simone Bolelli is 9–13 (40.9%) across 22 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): Simone Bolelli is 11–18 (37.9%) across 29 Masters matches — below .500 in the Tour's deepest fields. Lifting that record here would unlock better results across the whole clay swing.

One final reached on clay, without converting it into a title. That final-round experience is valuable groundwork for going one step further next time. 2 semifinals. 7 quarterfinals.

vs. Top 10 on clay: 0–17 (0.0%, 17 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: 9–14 (39.1%); best-of-three: 47–46 (50.5%). Markedly stronger in three-set formats; the win rate drops noticeably in five-setters, which has direct implications for Grand Slam performance on clay.

Best season: 2008 — 13–8 (61.9%) from 21 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the clay record continues to develop.
