Hard Court Statistics Overview
Shahar Perkiss has a competitive hard court record of 31–34 across 65 matches (47.7%). The record shows a player capable of competing here, though there is clear room to push the win rate higher. Shahar Perkiss has reached 1 final without yet claiming a title on hard — one of the finest margins in tennis.
At Grand Slam level (Australian Open & US Open): Shahar Perkiss is 2–3 (40.0%) across 5 Grand Slam matches — below .500, though the elite draw depth at the Slams makes that a notoriously difficult barrier to crack.
One final reached on hard, without converting it into a title. That final-round experience is valuable groundwork for going one step further next time. 2 semifinals. 4 quarterfinals.
vs. Top 10 on hard: 1–4 (20.0%, 5 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: 4–6 (40.0%); best-of-three: 27–28 (49.1%). 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: 1984 — 12–8 (60.0%) from 20 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the hard record continues to develop.
