Stefan Edberg Hard Court Stats & Match Results
Stefan Edberg
Hard Court Statistics Overview
Stefan Edberg has been dominant on hard, posting 382–104 across 486 matches (78.6% — exceptional). Few players in the Open Era have sustained that level of dominance across a full career on hard. With 22 titles, among the most prolific hard court champions in the Open Era: Doha, Washington, Basel, Stockholm and 11 more.
At Grand Slam level (Australian Open & US Open): Stefan Edberg has been outstanding — 84–20 (80.8%) across 104 matches. Winning more than 7 in 10 Grand Slam matches on hard is the benchmark of an all-time great on this surface.
ATP Masters 1000 on hard (Indian Wells, Miami, Cincinnati, Shanghai, Paris): Stefan Edberg is elite here — 55–19 (74.3%) across 74 matches. Sustaining that win rate in the Tour's deepest regular-week draws is a defining quality of the very best on this surface.
44 finals reached on hard — won 22, lost 22 (solid 50% conversion) — consistently getting to finals and winning the majority is a hallmark of elite performers on hard. 68 semifinals. 82 quarterfinals.
vs. Top 10 on hard: 38–46 (45.2%, 84 matches). Competitive against the elite, but still narrowly below .500 — closing that gap would directly elevate the overall hard court profile.
By format on hard — best-of-five: 103–31 (76.9%); best-of-three: 279–73 (79.3%). Slightly stronger in three-set contests on hard, though the five-set record is still respectable.
Dominant season: 1987 — 42–5 (89.4%) from 47 matches. A campaign of 42 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.
Stefan Edberg assembled a remarkable 20-match winning streak on hard — a run of that length goes far beyond form and into a different level of dominance on this surface.
