At Grand Slam level (Australian Open & US Open): Albert Costa is 19–20 (48.7%) across 39 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 hard (Indian Wells, Miami, Cincinnati, Shanghai, Paris): Albert Costa is 35–36 (49.3%) across 71 Masters matches — below .500 in the Tour's deepest fields. Lifting that record here would unlock better results across the whole hard swing.
