Karim Alami has found hard courts difficult, recording 30–50 across 80 matches (37.5%). 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): Karim Alami has struggled at Grand Slam level on hard: 7–13 (35.0%) in 20 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): Karim Alami has struggled at Masters level on hard: 1–6 (14.3%) in 7 matches. Improving at this level is the clearest path to a stronger overall record on this surface.

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. 5 quarterfinals adds further depth to that picture.

vs. Top 10 on hard: 2–10 (16.7%, 12 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.
