Hard Court Statistics Overview
Tom Gullikson has a competitive hard court record of 83–84 across 167 matches (49.7%). The record shows a player capable of competing here, though there is clear room to push the win rate higher. Tom Gullikson 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): Tom Gullikson is 11–9 (55.0%) across 20 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. 4 semifinals. 14 quarterfinals.
vs. Top 10 on hard: 2–18 (10.0%, 20 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: 11–10 (52.4%); best-of-three: 72–74 (49.3%). Slightly better in five-set matches on hard — a positive sign for the Slams specifically.
Best season: 1982 — 9–5 (64.3%) from 14 matches. The best single-season display to date — a useful reference point as the hard record continues to develop.
