Jan Hernych has found hard courts difficult, recording 43–59 across 102 matches (42.2%). 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): Jan Hernych has struggled at Grand Slam level on hard: 6–10 (37.5%) in 16 matches. The best-of-five format and elite fields make this the toughest benchmark on this surface.

ATP Masters 1000 on hard (Indian Wells, Miami, Canada, Cincinnati, Shanghai, Paris): Jan Hernych is 14–15 (48.3%) across 29 Masters matches — below .500 in the Tour's deepest fields. Lifting that record here would unlock better results across the whole hard swing.

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. 4 quarterfinals adds further depth to that picture.

vs. Top 10 on hard: 0–16 (0.0%, 16 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: 6–10 (37.5%); best-of-three: 37–49 (43.0%). Slightly stronger in three-set contests on hard, though the five-set record is still respectable.

Best season: 2004 — 9–7 (56.3%) from 16 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the hard record continues to develop.
