Hard Court Statistics Overview
Roberto Saad has found hard courts difficult, recording 5–15 across 20 matches (25.0%). The numbers point to a surface that has not consistently suited the game — a key area of opportunity on the calendar.
At Grand Slam level (Australian Open & US Open): 1–2 across just 3 matches — still very early days at this level on hard.
By format on hard — best-of-five: 1–3 (25.0%); best-of-three: 4–12 (25.0%). Consistent regardless of format on hard — a sign of a well-rounded game that holds up as matches develop.
Best season: 1987 — 3–4 (42.9%) from 7 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the hard record continues to develop.
