Hard Court Statistics Overview
Per Hjertquist has found hard courts difficult, recording 19–26 across 45 matches (42.2%). The numbers point to a surface that has not consistently suited the game — a key area of opportunity on the calendar. Per Hjertquist has reached 2 finals without yet claiming a title on hard — one of the finest margins in tennis.
At Grand Slam level (Australian Open & US Open): Per Hjertquist has yet to record a win on hard at this stage — 0–2 across 2 Grand Slam matches. Breaking through here would mark a significant step forward on this surface.
2 finals reached on hard — none converted into a title yet. Reaching 2 finals is a mark of real quality, but the gap between finalist and champion is one of the finest lines in the sport. 3 semifinals. 4 quarterfinals.
vs. Top 10 on hard: 0–3 (0.0%, 3 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.
Best season: 1979 — 4–2 (66.7%) from 6 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the hard record continues to develop.
