Hard Court Statistics Overview
Tom Gorman holds a solid hard court record of 133–83 across 216 matches (61.6%). A winning majority across 216 matches shows consistent ability to get results on hard. 6 titles on hard: Stockholm, Cincinnati, Caracas, Columbus, Hong Kong — a record that reflects consistent ability to close out tournaments on this surface.
At Grand Slam level (Australian Open & US Open): a positive 3–2 (60.0%) across 5 matches — a player who generally rises to the occasion at the Slams on hard.
9 finals reached on hard — won 6, lost 3 (solid 67% conversion) — consistently getting to finals and winning the majority is a hallmark of elite performers on hard. 20 semifinals. 30 quarterfinals.
vs. Top 10 on hard: 7–8 (46.7%, 15 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: 10–6 (62.5%); best-of-three: 123–76 (61.8%). Consistent regardless of format on hard — a sign of a well-rounded game that holds up as matches develop.
Peak season: 1975 — 16–6 (72.7%) from 22 matches. That year captures the ceiling of what Tom Gorman can do on hard when performing at their best and represents the standard to aim for.
