At Grand Slam level (Roland Garros): Tatsuma Ito has yet to record a win on clay at this stage — 0–2 across 2 Grand Slam matches. Breaking through here would mark a significant step forward on this surface.

By format on clay — best-of-five: 1–4 (20.0%); best-of-three: 3–5 (37.5%). 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: 2012 — 2–4 (33.3%) from 6 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the clay record continues to develop.
