Hard Court Statistics Overview
Tobias Svantesson has found hard courts difficult, recording 8–12 across 20 matches (40.0%). 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: 7–9 (43.8%). 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: 1988 — 4–5 (44.4%) from 9 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the hard record continues to develop.
