Hard Court Statistics Overview
Kevin Ullyett has found hard courts difficult, recording 13–24 across 37 matches (35.1%). 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): Kevin Ullyett is 2–3 (40.0%) across 5 Grand Slam matches — below .500, though the elite draw depth at the Slams makes that a notoriously difficult barrier to crack.
ATP Masters 1000 on hard (Indian Wells, Miami, Canada, Cincinnati, Shanghai, Paris): Kevin Ullyett has struggled at Masters level on hard: 2–4 (33.3%) in 6 matches. Improving at this level is the clearest path to a stronger overall record on this surface.
By format on hard — best-of-five: 4–5 (44.4%); best-of-three: 9–19 (32.1%). Significantly better in five-set matches — a strong physical profile on hard that tends to tell as matches and tournaments progress.
Best season: 1999 — 3–2 (60.0%) from 5 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the hard record continues to develop.
