I don't think he sucks at clay (he did make it to the semi-finals at Madrid last year) and played well at the Davis Cup tie against Slovakia on clay earlier this year. He recently parted ways with one of his coaches and is likely just going through some adjustments which will take some time. He just turned 20 as you mentioned CHL, so he certainly has time to figure things out. There will likely be more bumps in the road over the next 12-24 months for Shapo.
