Mats Wilander has an impressive hard court record of 191–73 across 264 matches (72.3% — strong). A win rate of that calibre over 264 matches is a reliable indicator of genuine quality on this surface. 9 titles on hard: Cincinnati, Stockholm, Australian Open, Key Biscayne, US Open, Itaparica — a record that reflects consistent ability to close out tournaments on this surface.

At Grand Slam level (Australian Open & US Open): Mats Wilander has been outstanding — 55–16 (77.5%) across 71 matches. Winning more than 7 in 10 Grand Slam matches on hard is the benchmark of an all-time great on this surface.

ATP Masters 1000 on hard (Indian Wells, Miami, Canada, Cincinnati, Shanghai, Paris): a positive 11–11 (50.0%) across 22 matches — winning above .500 at this level, week in week out, is a genuine sign of quality on hard.

17 finals reached on hard — won 9, lost 8 (solid 53% conversion) — consistently getting to finals and winning the majority is a hallmark of elite performers on hard. 25 semifinals. 31 quarterfinals.

vs. Top 10 on hard: 23–22 (51.1%, 45 matches). Competitive against the elite, but still narrowly below .500 — closing that gap would directly elevate the overall hard court profile.

By format on hard — best-of-five: 73–22 (76.8%); best-of-three: 118–51 (69.8%). Slightly better in five-set matches on hard — a positive sign for the Slams specifically.

Peak season: 1988 — 29–2 (93.5%) from 31 matches. That year captures the ceiling of what Mats Wilander can do on hard when performing at their best and represents the standard to aim for.

Mats Wilander assembled a remarkable 20-match winning streak on hard — a run of that length goes far beyond form and into a different level of dominance on this surface.
