Hard Court Statistics Overview
Dominique Bedel has found hard courts difficult, recording 4–19 across 23 matches (17.4%). 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): Dominique Bedel has yet to record a win on hard at this stage — 0–3 across 3 Grand Slam matches. Breaking through here would mark a significant step forward on this surface.
vs. Top 10 on hard: 0–3 (0.0%, 3 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: 0–3 (0.0%); best-of-three: 4–16 (20.0%). Markedly stronger in three-set formats; the win rate drops noticeably in five-setters, which has direct implications for Grand Slam performance on hard.
Best season: 1980 — 1–6 (14.3%) from 7 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the hard record continues to develop.
