Clay Court Statistics Overview
Victor Amaya has a competitive clay court record of 41–50 across 91 matches (45.1%). The record shows a player capable of competing here, though there is clear room to push the win rate higher.
At Grand Slam level (Roland Garros): Victor Amaya is 7–8 (46.7%) across 15 Grand Slam matches — below .500, though the elite draw depth at the Slams makes that a notoriously difficult barrier to crack.
vs. Top 10 on clay: 1–11 (8.3%, 12 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: 5–5 (50.0%); best-of-three: 36–45 (44.4%). Slightly better in five-set matches on clay — a positive sign for the Slams specifically.
Best season: 1979 — 6–4 (60.0%) from 10 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the clay record continues to develop.
