At Grand Slam level (Australian Open & US Open): Radek Stepanek is 25–28 (47.2%) 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): a positive 56–54 (50.9%) across 110 matches — winning above .500 at this level, week in week out, is a genuine sign of quality on hard.

8 finals reached on hard — won 5, lost 3 (solid 63% conversion) — consistently getting to finals and winning the majority is a hallmark of elite performers on hard. 21 semifinals. 38 quarterfinals.

vs. Top 10 on hard: 12–49 (19.7%, 61 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: 32–32 (50.0%); best-of-three: 182–140 (56.5%). Slightly stronger in three-set contests on hard, though the five-set record is still respectable.

Dominant season: 2009 — 35–13 (72.9%) from 48 matches. A campaign of 35 wins on hard in a single season is among the best single-season records the surface has seen — the clearest benchmark of what is achievable at peak level.
