Fritz Buehning has a competitive hard court record of 47–48 across 95 matches (49.5%). The record shows a player capable of competing here, though there is clear room to push the win rate higher.

At Grand Slam level (Australian Open & US Open): Fritz Buehning is 5–6 (45.5%) across 11 Grand Slam matches — below .500, though the elite draw depth at the Slams makes that a notoriously difficult barrier to crack.

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. 4 semifinals. 7 quarterfinals.

vs. Top 10 on hard: 2–13 (13.3%, 15 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: 5–7 (41.7%); best-of-three: 42–41 (50.6%). 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: 1981 — 10–6 (62.5%) from 16 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the hard record continues to develop.
