Hard Court Statistics Overview
Huub Van Boeckel has found hard courts difficult, recording 4–11 across 15 matches (26.7%). 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): 1–2 across just 3 matches — still very early days at this level on hard.
By format on hard — best-of-five: 1–3 (25.0%); best-of-three: 3–8 (27.3%). Slightly stronger in three-set contests on hard, though the five-set record is still respectable.
Best season: 1985 — 2–7 (22.2%) from 9 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the hard record continues to develop.
