Szabolcz Baranyi has found clay courts difficult, recording 33–42 across 75 matches (44.0%). 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): Szabolcz Baranyi is 6–6 (50.0%) across 12 Grand Slam matches — below .500, though the elite draw depth at the Slams makes that a notoriously difficult barrier to crack.

7 quarterfinals on clay, including one run to the semifinal — regularly reaching that stage is a solid baseline, with the next step being to break through to the final rounds more often.

By format on clay — best-of-five: 11–11 (50.0%); best-of-three: 22–31 (41.5%). Significantly better in five-set matches — a strong physical profile on clay that tends to tell as matches and tournaments progress.

Best season: 1970 — 8–6 (57.1%) from 14 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the clay record continues to develop.
