Hard Court Statistics Overview
James Sekulov has found hard courts difficult, recording 6–11 across 17 matches (35.3%). 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: 1–2 (33.3%); best-of-three: 5–9 (35.7%). Slightly stronger in three-set contests on hard, though the five-set record is still respectable.
Best season: 2000 — 3–7 (30.0%) from 10 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the hard record continues to develop.
