14 finals reached on hard — won 8, lost 6 (solid 57% conversion) — consistently getting to finals and winning the majority is a hallmark of elite performers on hard. 23 semifinals. 35 quarterfinals.

vs. Top 10 on hard: 2–20 (9.1%, 22 matches). Top 10 opponents have represented a clear ceiling on hard; addressing that deficit is the single biggest lever for improving the overall record here.

By format on hard — best-of-five: 22–8 (73.3%); best-of-three: 135–59 (69.6%). Slightly better in five-set matches on hard — a positive sign for the Slams specifically.
