Hard Court Statistics Overview
Tim Wilkison has a competitive hard court record of 139–121 across 260 matches (53.5%). The record shows a player capable of competing here, though there is clear room to push the win rate higher. 4 titles on hard: Nancy, Auckland, Vienna — a record that reflects consistent ability to close out tournaments on this surface.
At Grand Slam level (Australian Open & US Open): Tim Wilkison is 13–14 (48.1%) across 27 Grand Slam matches — below .500, though the elite draw depth at the Slams makes that a notoriously difficult barrier to crack.
8 finals reached on hard — won 4, lost 4 (solid 50% conversion) — consistently getting to finals and winning the majority is a hallmark of elite performers on hard. 15 semifinals. 25 quarterfinals.
vs. Top 10 on hard: 3–25 (10.7%, 28 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: 18–19 (48.6%); best-of-three: 121–102 (54.3%). Slightly stronger in three-set contests on hard, though the five-set record is still respectable.
Best season: 1982 — 13–3 (81.3%) from 16 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the hard record continues to develop.
