Hard Court Statistics Overview
Ferdi Taygan has found hard courts difficult, recording 23–41 across 64 matches (35.9%). 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): Ferdi Taygan has struggled at Grand Slam level on hard: 1–4 (20.0%) in 5 matches. The best-of-five format and elite fields make this the toughest benchmark on this surface.
2 semifinals on hard without yet reaching a final — consistent deep runs that show the ability to string together wins across a full draw, with the step to the final still to come. 6 quarterfinals adds further depth to that picture.
vs. Top 10 on hard: 2–7 (22.2%, 9 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: 1–3 (25.0%); best-of-three: 22–38 (36.7%). 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 — 11–12 (47.8%) from 23 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the hard record continues to develop.
