Hard Court Statistics Overview
Alejandro Cortes has found hard courts difficult, recording 5–8 across 13 matches (38.5%). The numbers point to a surface that has not consistently suited the game — a key area of opportunity on the calendar.
At Grand Slam level (Australian Open & US Open): 1–1 across just 2 matches — still very early days at this level on hard.
By format on hard — best-of-five: 2–2 (50.0%); best-of-three: 3–6 (33.3%). Significantly better in five-set matches — a strong physical profile on hard that tends to tell as matches and tournaments progress.
Best season: 1981 — 1–4 (20.0%) from 5 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the hard record continues to develop.
