At Grand Slam level (Australian Open & US Open): Rodolphe Gilbert has struggled at Grand Slam level on hard: 4–9 (30.8%) in 13 matches. The best-of-five format and elite fields make this the toughest benchmark on this surface.
ATP Masters 1000 on hard (Indian Wells, Miami, Cincinnati, Shanghai, Paris): a positive 6–6 (50.0%) across 12 matches — winning above .500 at this level, week in week out, is a genuine sign of quality on hard.
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: 4–9 (30.8%); best-of-three: 26–39 (40.0%). Markedly stronger in three-set formats; the win rate drops noticeably in five-setters, which has direct implications for Grand Slam performance on hard.
Best season: 1991 — 6–7 (46.2%) from 13 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the hard record continues to develop.
