vs. Top 10 on clay: 0–14 (0.0%, 14 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: 5–15 (25.0%); best-of-three: 32–54 (37.2%). Markedly stronger in three-set formats; the win rate drops noticeably in five-setters, which has direct implications for Grand Slam performance on clay.
