Clay Court Statistics Overview
Stefano Pescosolido has found clay courts difficult, recording 44–65 across 109 matches (40.4%). 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): Stefano Pescosolido is 3–4 (42.9%) across 7 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): Stefano Pescosolido is 11–14 (44.0%) across 25 Masters matches — below .500 in the Tour's deepest fields. Lifting that record here would unlock better results across the whole clay swing.
3 semifinals on clay without yet reaching a final — consistent deep runs that show the ability to string together wins across a full draw, with the step to the final still to come. 7 quarterfinals adds further depth to that picture.
vs. Top 10 on clay: 1–8 (11.1%, 9 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: 5–7 (41.7%); best-of-three: 39–58 (40.2%). Consistent regardless of format on clay — a sign of a well-rounded game that holds up as matches develop.
Best season: 1995 — 11–8 (57.9%) from 19 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the clay record continues to develop.
