By format on clay — best-of-five: 0–3 (0.0%); best-of-three: 8–11 (42.1%). 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: 1984 — 3–4 (42.9%) from 7 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the clay record continues to develop.
