Hard Court Statistics Overview
Jim McManus has found hard courts difficult, recording 46–58 across 104 matches (44.2%). The numbers point to a surface that has not consistently suited the game — a key area of opportunity on the calendar. Jim McManus has reached 1 final without yet claiming a title on hard — one of the finest margins in tennis.
One final reached on hard, without converting it into a title. That final-round experience is valuable groundwork for going one step further next time. 4 semifinals. 10 quarterfinals.
Peak season: 1968 — 15–8 (65.2%) from 23 matches. That year captures the ceiling of what Jim McManus can do on hard when performing at their best and represents the standard to aim for.
