At Grand Slam level (Australian Open & US Open): a positive 32–20 (61.5%) across 52 matches — a player who generally rises to the occasion at the Slams on hard.

ATP Masters 1000 on hard (Indian Wells, Miami, Canada, Cincinnati, Shanghai, Paris): a positive 45–36 (55.6%) across 81 matches — winning above .500 at this level, week in week out, is a genuine sign of quality on hard.

14 finals reached on hard — won 8, lost 6 (solid 57% conversion) — consistently getting to finals and winning the majority is a hallmark of elite performers on hard. 18 semifinals. 28 quarterfinals.

vs. Top 10 on hard: 10–25 (28.6%, 35 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: 34–26 (56.7%); best-of-three: 146–92 (61.3%). Slightly stronger in three-set contests on hard, though the five-set record is still respectable.
