Andrei Cherkasov has a competitive hard court record of 70–73 across 143 matches (49.0%). The record shows a player capable of competing here, though there is clear room to push the win rate higher. Andrei Cherkasov has reached 1 final without yet claiming a title on hard — one of the finest margins in tennis.

At Grand Slam level (Australian Open & US Open): Andrei Cherkasov is 12–14 (46.2%) across 26 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, Canada, Cincinnati, Shanghai, Paris): a positive 15–14 (51.7%) across 29 matches — winning above .500 at this level, week in week out, is a genuine sign of quality on hard.

One final reached on hard, without converting it into a title. That final-round experience is valuable groundwork for going one step further next time. 3 semifinals. 16 quarterfinals.

vs. Top 10 on hard: 1–18 (5.3%, 19 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: 13–16 (44.8%); best-of-three: 57–57 (50.0%). Slightly stronger in three-set contests on hard, though the five-set record is still respectable.

Best season: 1990 — 11–6 (64.7%) from 17 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the hard record continues to develop.
