Andrei Pavel has a competitive hard court record of 116–118 across 234 matches (49.6%). The record shows a player capable of competing here, though there is clear room to push the win rate higher. Claimed 2 titles on hard: Tokyo, Canada Masters.

At Grand Slam level (Australian Open & US Open): Andrei Pavel is 19–21 (47.5%) across 40 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 35–32 (52.2%) across 67 matches — winning above .500 at this level, week in week out, is a genuine sign of quality on hard.

2 finals reached on hard — converted 2 into titles (outstanding 100% conversion rate). Converting finals at that rate separates champions from contenders. 7 semifinals. 17 quarterfinals.

vs. Top 10 on hard: 9–21 (30.0%, 30 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: 24–25 (49.0%); best-of-three: 92–93 (49.7%). Consistent regardless of format on hard — a sign of a well-rounded game that holds up as matches develop.

Best season: 1998 — 12–6 (66.7%) from 18 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the hard record continues to develop.
