Owen Davidson has found hard courts difficult, recording 11–21 across 32 matches (34.4%). The numbers point to a surface that has not consistently suited the game — a key area of opportunity on the calendar.

4 quarterfinals on hard — regularly reaching that stage is a solid baseline, with the next step being to break through to the final rounds more often.

By format on hard — best-of-five: 2–2 (50.0%); 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: 1973 — 3–3 (50.0%) from 6 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the hard record continues to develop.
