Hard Court Statistics Overview
Greg Holmes has a competitive hard court record of 56–48 across 104 matches (53.8%). 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): a positive 9–6 (60.0%) across 15 matches — a player who generally rises to the occasion at the Slams on hard.
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. 7 quarterfinals adds further depth to that picture.
vs. Top 10 on hard: 4–9 (30.8%, 13 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: 11–9 (55.0%); best-of-three: 45–39 (53.6%). Consistent regardless of format on hard — a sign of a well-rounded game that holds up as matches develop.
Peak season: 1985 — 16–8 (66.7%) from 24 matches. That year captures the ceiling of what Greg Holmes can do on hard when performing at their best and represents the standard to aim for.
