Hard Court Statistics Overview
Keith Richardson has found hard courts difficult, recording 5–13 across 18 matches (27.8%). 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): 2–1 across just 3 matches — still very early days at this level on hard.
By format on hard — best-of-five: 2–1 (66.7%); best-of-three: 3–12 (20.0%). Significantly better in five-set matches — a strong physical profile on hard that tends to tell as matches and tournaments progress.
Best season: 1977 — 2–3 (40.0%) from 5 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the hard record continues to develop.
