Nicolas Almagro has a competitive hard court record of 101–113 across 214 matches (47.2%). The record shows a player capable of competing here, though there is clear room to push the win rate higher.

At Grand Slam level (Australian Open & US Open): Nicolas Almagro is 30–23 (56.6%) across 53 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): Nicolas Almagro is 40–44 (47.6%) across 84 Masters matches — below .500 in the Tour's deepest fields. Lifting that record here would unlock better results across the whole hard swing.

6 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. 19 quarterfinals adds further depth to that picture.

vs. Top 10 on hard: 3–32 (8.6%, 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: 30–25 (54.5%); best-of-three: 71–88 (44.7%). Significantly better in five-set matches — a strong physical profile on hard that tends to tell as matches and tournaments progress.

Peak season: 2013 — 17–11 (60.7%) from 28 matches. That year captures the ceiling of what Nicolas Almagro can do on hard when performing at their best and represents the standard to aim for.
