At Grand Slam level (Roland Garros): Vincent Spadea is 9–13 (40.9%) across 22 Grand Slam matches — below .500, though the elite draw depth at the Slams makes that a notoriously difficult barrier to crack.

ATP Masters 1000 on clay (Monte Carlo, Madrid, Rome): Vincent Spadea is 12–16 (42.9%) across 28 Masters matches — below .500 in the Tour's deepest fields. Lifting that record here would unlock better results across the whole clay swing.
