Hard Court Statistics Overview
Scott Lipton has found hard courts difficult, recording 2–6 across 8 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: 1–2 (33.3%); best-of-three: 1–4 (20.0%). Significantly better in five-set matches — a strong physical profile on hard that tends to tell as matches and tournaments progress.
Best season: 1983 — 2–4 (33.3%) from 6 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the hard record continues to develop.
