Harold Solomon has an impressive hard court record of 160–86 across 246 matches (65.0% — strong). A win rate of that calibre over 246 matches is a reliable indicator of genuine quality on this surface. 8 titles on hard: Johannesburg-2, Maui, WCT Tournament of Champions, Las Vegas-2, Paris, Cincinnati, Tel Aviv — a record that reflects consistent ability to close out tournaments on this surface.

At Grand Slam level (Australian Open & US Open): a positive 13–6 (68.4%) across 19 matches — a player who generally rises to the occasion at the Slams on hard.

12 finals reached on hard — won 8, lost 4 (solid 67% conversion) — consistently getting to finals and winning the majority is a hallmark of elite performers on hard. 16 semifinals. 36 quarterfinals.

vs. Top 10 on hard: 6–24 (20.0%, 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: 15–8 (65.2%); best-of-three: 145–78 (65.0%). Consistent regardless of format on hard — a sign of a well-rounded game that holds up as matches develop.

Peak season: 1980 — 22–5 (81.5%) from 27 matches. That year captures the ceiling of what Harold Solomon can do on hard when performing at their best and represents the standard to aim for.
